Yeah, heatshields that can wrap around odd shapes would be nice to have for shuttles, spaceplanes, and SSTOs. I picture it as those heat-shield tile things (err, whatever they are called) that the real-life shuttle has on the bottom/sides. It could just be a part that you radially attach, and it procedurally wraps around your craft. It could weigh quite a bit, to make using them a challenge (more thrust to move them, but in the end you don't overheat, probably) and could be fairly expensive. It would all be procedural. I think P.Fairings code could almost work here. Anyway, what do you guys think?
