A lot of people will mock dual shielding, but it’s actually a viable strategy. Yes, shield bonuses don’t stack, but a lot of shield based attacks remove the shield bonus to AC, so having two shields allows you to specialize with one item type for both offense and defense.

If you play as a spider person you can rock 5 shields and a sword and basically nothing can hit you.
Think of the fat rolls though.
IIRC the game Dungeons of Dredmor allows shield dual wielding as a viable build
