Shellac on grips is hardly new. I suspect if there were a practical alternative, it would have been found out by now.
Which color/brand shellac have you tried? I used a fairly weak mix of the blonde flakes VO sells on a set of Riv Portuguese cork grips. It brought out the grain and base color, but otherwise did not change the look of the cork. I cannot really feel the difference from it and a non-treated cork grip. Of course, I probably will not have quite the dirt protection one gets from the heavier Bulls-Eye shellac.
