Here’s a strategy I use for more natural looking shadows:
Adjust your shadow stack sizes to account for a negative spread that’s 1/2 the amount of the Y. To make it even easier, I use a matching Y and Blur for each shadow layer and then set every layer to the same color/opacity.

I do this every couple months. Super handy.

✨CSS Tip: dvh — new viewport unit.
