Agree, shimano chains are usually the thinnest around. Just use a Wipperman
or Sram removable link instead of those stupid pins and you're good to go!

I shift a Shiimano 10 cassette in my Campy bike w/o the Jtek. I was
using either IRD or Connex chain and it worked ok. I switched to
Shimano chain and the shifting is perfect. I do use a pre 2001 Campy
rear derailleur.

Use a Wipperman Connex link with a shimano chain? Isn't the wipperman
connex link wider than the shimano chain?

It is but like a Sram 9s link onto a 10s chain like Campagnolo, not
really an issue.
