To max every single spell, you will need a *lot* of enchanted shrines. Not only will you need to get them all to 15, but you will need to get them all to 15 at the same time. This requires having one of the few spells you can actually read to 15 take "the hit" twice in a row, sometime after you get everything to 13+, so that you can read it up to complete the sequence. It could take as long or longer to max the last few spells as it took to get the majority of spells up to 15.
Personally, I take a more practical approach. With a non-variant warrior or rogue, I want L15 on heal and fireball. I want CL to be at least level 10. I want stonecurse and teleport to be at maximum effective level. Once I obtain those levels, I am not likely to ever do a shrine run with that character again. But to each his own.
In any case, you should Adria shop teleport (and golem if you intend to max it) as high as you can read them before starting to do shrine runs in my opinion. The best time to do that is when you are high enough level to be offered those books (and stat elixers), but still haven't maxed STR or DEX, thus killing two birds with one stone.
