Some months ago I had a similar issue, back then I got an answer from adobe team that .glb in Ae only supports "Bones" animation. So if it is possible use "bones" to animate the mesh instead of "shape keys"

Did you ever get a solution to this? I have the same problem and it’s driving me insane! On exporting the bone animations are all fine and working, when selecting shape keys from the NLA animation tracks, nothing happens. I have tried many, many variations!

There's not enough information to help here. Please be very specific in describing what you're doing; what tools you're using to create your rig (if any); which exact version of AE you're running (not just the year number); and most importantly, please post screen shots or screen recordings showing the issue.

I have the same problem, and i understand the problem, without additional information. It is totally simple. In Blender (for me it´s version 4.2.3) you can animate the model with shape-keys. And it would be really important to integrate this in AE. That´s it.
