The NL tileserver does use the generated shapefiles and if you look
there it looks nice:
http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/?lat=51.25726273486917&lon=4.3530084103980675&zoom=14

I think the main issue is that the coastlines in the database miss a
large parts of the world. What we'd need to do is show the current
output in places where the OSM DB is imcomplete and the new shapefile
where the database is fine.

Have a nice day,
