Question: is doing a f-air at the very last possible second and then jabbing a true blockstring? I've noticed that when doing a landing fair that gets shielded, it's possible to be shieldgrabbed even if you were seemingly close to the ground. Some frame data would be nice, or a video to a match for reference, but I just want to know for sure that f-air can't be shieldgrabbed if you jab right after.

Sheik True Blockstrings

There is landing recovery from landing during the animation of an aerial. Sheik's fair is relatively quick (10 frames) but that's still more than a natural landing duration of 4 frames. In this case, you're actually better off performing it from higher in the air to get an auto-cancel instead.
Damn I can't believe that didn't cross my mind actually.. Okay so in theory if you autocancelled a fair on their shield and fastfalled, you could jab and it would be a true blockstring correct? I've definitely done this randomly sometimes by short hop fairing their shield into an FF jab which stuffed their grab. But I'm not sure if it's guaranteed

I am fairly sure if you frame cancel the fair and land, followed by a jab, it should frame trap them... Right?

FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, FAIR HAS 4 FRAMES OF LANDING LAG. It autocancels super-easily and it's actually harder to get the full landing lag. So it's really not unreasonable to do a super tight framelock. Getting 4 frames of lag out of it requires that the attack be used by about 60% of the way through a shorthop, after which it will land with full lag.
