Yes, but the problem we're currently having is that we need to be able to
send byte-at-a-time data over a wire.  If we use a 64-bit-shift CFB, we
have exactly the same problem as using a 64 bit cipher in CFB mode.

Thats no more efficient than 8-bit-shift CFB, if the plaintext size is a
byte, which it has to be in order to avoid this padding effect.
