Shadow Knights are roughly on par with Warriors for popularity (albeit more often as alts relative to warriors which are more often mains), so they're mid-range and hence fine. Rangers and Paladins are less common and probably the two least-played classes on P1999. Most folks well know that Kunark was a bad period for hybrids in general and Rangers/Paladins in particular. During Velious the class penalties are removed and hybrids are also subject to class balancing improvements, so most of what you hope for will happen during that period.
At the end of the day, some classes will be more popular than others. I'm not convinced that's a bad thing.
