Jeff, I have no idea about polyamide PCB behaviour, however on a FR4 board I wouldn't worry much about a 10G shock if your SMD components are standard IC packages, resistor and the like. We just lately have tested a device with 100G/5ms shock in all directions without any additional bonding of components - no issues arised. In all cases you will have to take into account weight and geometry of the component and PCB land pattern besides all the bare board characteristics.
