Does it make sense to glue the shim to the back of the fingerboard first, wait till the glue grabs (or dries) and then attach the neck?

That is what I do, unless I am installing a shim later. I cut the shim slightly oversize, and trim it flush with the edges after the glue dries. And if need be, I can shave the shim thinner with a finger plane after it is glued on the fingerboard. It's much easier than gluing it when installing the neck.
