You don't need to ground your Shelly if the circuit is otherwise properly grounded. The Shelly will fail open if something internal shorts.
Per the rest of the discussion re: hot wire loops to switches with no neutral or ground, just put the Shelly into the upstream junction box. (Wherever the switch wire branches from the circuit. Usually that's where the light is.)
