have a slightly different opinion on naima's conflict with zainab -- while I agree with you that it started when shehroze got shot, I feel like it would have happened eventually for any other reason. basically naima's problem is that she is no longer head of the house and her feelings and opinion was discounted. so as long as zainab and ushna were subserviant, she loved them. when wahab and shehroze were under her thumb, she was happy. the moment both men started to display their independence and their own thought, she blamed the mother daughter for turning their heads and taking away her power by plot and plan.

Only Shehroz getting shot was not her matter of concern. She wasn't worshipped blindly was making her insecure, so it was just a matter of time to get the dose of jealousy and insecurity. If only Sufi creepy and family were a matter of concern, she would be plotting to keep Zainab-Ushna away from that home, but her plotting actually brought them close to Mukhtars because when distressed and depressed Zainab had nobody to talk, she would end up talking with her brothers.
This playing kabhi sautan kabhi saheli looks good only to an extent, the reality is more bitter than expected, and she was warned about this. Obviously sharing is caring, but the husband is not a thing to share, in Naima's case she can't even share her son. It's not just Ushan, she would have eventually turned against Zunaisha too once she was done with her hobby to get shehroz married.
