Don't feel badly about your snail. If my loach survived, I don't know it. I think he perished. I'm a bad fish mom. Also, the momma fish to the little white 'ghost' baby fish got taken by what I think must have been a king fisher. I was very saddened by the loss of that fish. However, one of her babies is turning out to look exactly like her.
I don't know why you shouldn't put shubunkins in your pond. I have lots of them in my pond. They are as hardy as goldfish and koi and very pretty.
Here's a photo from this year in the pond. The small white fish in the middle, facing you, is Lily's baby who is starting to look just like her, even with the same colored spot on the side. This one shows several koi and shubunkins. The little white one and the two to the left of her are all shubunkins. Some of the others are shubunkin/comet mixes.
