I don't think shaking could do more harm than a stir plate.

Never shake a baby! Yeast cake though, I frikken shake the heck out of it when I'm harvesting it. I doubt them get bruised or dizzzy.

Wow. That brought back memories of disco, bell bottoms, silk shirts, and leasure suits. I graduated from high school in 1977, right at the peak of all of that.
