Ok. This needs a new thread. 😀🙏 sorry.
It has nothing to do with nirīshvaravāda. Shānti is not something we ask from bhagwāna.
Shānti (the trividha) is an outcome of emergence of knowledge. ज्ञानं लब्ध्वा परम् शांति:
It is a byproduct of internal and external harmony.

Shānti to ātmā is a redundant and meaningless phrase.
Shānti to jīva who recently lost a physical body is too much expect. It is just like expecting a Shānti for jīva recently born. If baby is peaceful (not crying, struggling to breathe) difficult prospects ahead for that jīva

Like birth, death is a traumatic experience for jīva. It isn’t striving for Shānti. It is striving for a way out of its trauma. Hence we use the word “gati”. It literally means a way.
Sadgati = A good way out of its trauma. Where the jīva accepts that game is over and moves on.

Striving for Shānti (peace) is contradiction. Such state cannot exist (not in dhārmik system at least).
Just like we hope that baby finds a good way out of its shock (of being chucked out of cozy womb) so that it can lead a healthy life,
We wish that the jīva who just experienced death will quickly adjust to changed circumstances and move on without troubling self and others.
