is the shake a continuous shake or intermediate? meaning, does it start at a certain speed and progressively get worse or come and go at a certain point?

Road force balancing is better than typical spin balancing, it sure wont help, and might find an issue with a rim or tire.
I've done mine personally when our shop had the road force balancer.

I've had a RoadForce balance find a defective tire that standard spin balancers couldn't find. Good luck.
