As the title suggests, my greensteel shield (or any equipped shield) is not getting the -5% arcane spell failure reduction.

I've talked to several people now that say that spellsword ASF reduction applied to shields. Was this a quiet nerf or is it a bug?

This was never a thing. There is the open hand shield AC bonus, that may be what you are thinking. But I went back through the code and it never appeared.

I know about the open hand ac, but I and several others remember them getting ASF applied to shields as well.

This is incorrect. When I was leveling mine, both the armor and the shield got -5% asf. This was early last year, for frame of reference.
Please rest assured that the poster understands the difference between ASF and AC.

Every spellsword player I know has always been entirely confident that the ASF reduction worked on shields. If that is not the case presently, it is definitely a change.

I had tested this build on the pgcc just within the last month or two and it was fine using green steel armor and shield. Now it has 5% ASF because no reduction is on the shield.

Maybe the removal of the pending bard asf did something.

Nope, this was never a thing.
