Not only it is a good idea, it is only way to do QoS in other points than
congestion points, because you cannot know buffer sizes downstream towards
congestion.
When you configure burst-size 1, you can observe 128 in PFE, but in QX actual
burst-size is about 2.7ms times shaper-rate. As you said it solves your
issues, you should be happy, your downstream equipment can handle this burst
without dropping.

If at all possible, always perform shaping/policing at last possible moment.
