They only partially will solve your braking issues.
Yes, they will reflect a lot of heat away from the pistons, but that heat has to go somewhere, the shims aren't heat sinks. They reflect the heat back to the pad.
I found that I can keep from boiling the fluid, but it's much easier to reach maximum temp on the pad itself. Pad fade and boiling the fluid both lead to the same result...no/poor braking performance.
If you often find yourself at the edge of braking performance, consider moving up to a more track oriented pad in conjunction with the shims.
