Anytime Rand or one of the cast members hold a cuendillar seal, they comment that it is much heavier than it looks, and it tends to weigh down the pouch Moiraine carried one in during the first part of the series IIRC.
There's a very small chance that's because the seals are special in some way (being the Seals of the DO's prison, and the only known cuendillar that has decayed), but it's more likely to simply be a property of heartstone.
Having said all that, I still think cuendillar shields would work for strong humans and especially Ogier (or Trollocs?) but it's unlikely we'll see them in the series.

I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain"

No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it

Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered.

Or they could just tie the gateway weave off, like Sammael did in CoS, and Rand did in KoD...

Why would this mean that the gateway weave doesn't need to be maintained? *NM*

Because even if it wasn't tied off, it'd get stuck around the cuendillar doorway, unable to close. *NM*

But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he?
