If I've to be honest I also didn't like ShKanon because it should have been an obvious solution for the poeple on Rokkenjima too... and one that requires an insane amount of accomplices and early preparations. A solution that should have been considered by Toya's readers and something over which the police would have investigated.
It also felt like cheating because no one mentioned/noticed that Shannon and Kanon's faces, despite them not being related, resemble each other SO VERY MUCH they could as well be the same person...

But yes, ShKanon is the intended solution. It's interesting how Ep 7 manga version dealt with Yasu becoming Beatrice and leaving Shannon behind.
Previously Shannon was always seen as older and dressed as a maid even when Yasu is in common clothes. However when Yasu expresses his wish to become a witch Shannon is dressed as her (the same happens in a flashback in the same chapter about Yasu talking of how she wanted to become like her) (chap 25). And, of course, she'll later look younger (chap 26). Also interesting is how in chap 22, when all the servants are standing in line with Genji saying he'd found some keys, sometimes Shannon is in the line with the others, just after Yasu, sometimes she's not (although it could look like she was just hidden from the view as she's close to Yasu bits of her should at least be visible...).
