I've been running into an issue with my soft shackle. It had an eye that you could open, but somehow something capsized in that splice and now it's a fixed eye (and I can't figure out what happened there). Turns out, the fixed eye works fine; just a bit more fiddly to get the knot through, it's a tight fit.
If your fixed eye isn't too loose, it should work and not come open, for example, when the sail is flogging.
