Using suit hangers for hanging shirts - overkill?

I have a guy that supplies me all of my people.

Having my collars flattened (and having to perpetually & carefully space out my dozens of dress shirts to prevent it) eventually got to me and I came up with a solution, which is to alternate the hangers (I use thick plastic ones) with thick shower curtain hooks on my hanging bar. (N.B. I'm not sure if this would work with wooden hangers because the metal hook at the top is so thin the shirts would still be quite close together even with spacing from the shower curtain fasteners). The ones I use are like those at top-right in the photo below, and I actually think they make my closet look better than it did without them because my shirts are always perfectly(!) spaced.

I clear out all of the shirts I dont wear after 1 year or dont plan to wear in the future, which also helps cut down on the clutter.

Seriously though, just use the cheap wood hangers from IKEA. They're like 8 for $3. Works just fine:

I have yet to find an IKEA hanger set, which wouldn't need re-finishing: usually a few of the pack have sharp edges/unground corners etc etc, so I've passed them.

I've resorted to plastic, wider hangers to keep the collars straighter.

I don't think shirts weigh enough to make a difference, if you put a brioni silk suit on a wire hanger, I might see why you would have a few problems.
