Yeah, the command hooks are a blunt instrument.  I was able to get M-x
shell working with buffer-list-update-hook instead, but I had to add a
second hook to make sure it's disabled on the first buffer switch.

(ivy-mode 1)

;; Turn off ivy on first entry into a new comint-mode buffer.
(add-hook 'comint-mode-hook (lambda () (ivy-mode -1)))

;; Toggle ivy after every buffer switch, avoiding the minibuffer.
(add-hook 'buffer-list-update-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (unless (eq major-mode 'minibuffer-inactive-mode)
	      (ivy-mode (if (derived-mode-p 'comint-mode) -1 1)))))

How's that?
