> resolution of the radar data is too low
SRTMv3 is 30m/px covering latitudes ±60. The earliest release was 90m/px. There was also release that was 30m within the United States and 90m elsewhere.
> steep grazing angles from the radar not generating much shadow
Mountain shadows are actually a problem! Some releases contain voids where there was no radar return, particularly around the Himalayas. There's a body of publications on void filling the SRTM data, if you're interested.
