shr (via url-queue) uses a very primitive timeout mechanism for
image-loading, and it aborts a lot of downloads prematurely.  And as you
say, the more images it's downloading in parallel, the more likely it is
that it drops the image.

This will work a lot better once the with-fetched-url branch has been
merged into Emacs, but that won't happen until Emacs 28, which is
probably still weeks away.
