Yes, if you just stuck to compounds you'll do very well. Isolation exercises aren't really necessary, or at least not for beginner or intermediate lifters.
As for your choice of exercises, I would hardly consider curls or shrugs compounds. Get rid of those and stick in some chins, power cleans and dips.
My current routine is focused solely on freeweight compound exercises (only exception being Smith calf raises) and I'm seeing some nice improvements in strength all round.Strength + Speed = Power
If you never fail, you aren't truly pushing yourself to the limit. If you never push yourself to the limit, how do you know what you're truly capable of?

No one system of training is better than all of the other systems. However, proper training always involves common elements. These are hard work, abbreviated training programs, progression, good form, and motivation - Brooks Kubik
