I would do this, even cedar shims would likely last long enough, or pour more cement (with no aggregate) into the gaps.

Bonus is you can use two or four per hole if you need to plumb it up.  (Two, assuming the rails will hold it plum from side to side, otherwise four to hold it independently of the efence).

While I will replacing the rails and pickets with new wood the posts appear to be in good condition,  ie: no rot, except for the fact they are set in concrete and the posts have shrunk a bit so the posts are loose on the concrete.
