This pipedream with the Shroud will never convince a non-believer no matter how much evidence is put in front of them.

Why is it a "pipedream" and how is it supposed to convince anyone? People saw Jesus perform miracles right in front of them and didn't believe.

People saw Jesus perform miracles right in front of them and didn't believe.

And?
Did the witnesses who did believe then bow down to those who were healed? Did the wedding party worship the wine that had been changed? I know of nowhere in Tanakh or Jesus' words that tells me I need to worry about physical items nor bow down to them no matter what they are or where they came from.
The act of the miracle itself and the power of that miracle coming from G-d is what should be revered, not the object or byproduct of the miracle.
