No, but to say "Are multiple contractions such as 'shouldn't've' correct grammar?" is correct grammer.
Why not and why?
Because "Is" is singular, and "Are" ain't. So your grammar should to be agreeable to that.

No, it's not correct when written. It just looks so untidy, but of course when we speak that's what we say - "shouldn't've".

It's fine if you say it, but it you should either write should'nt have, should not have, (with emphasis on not) or as I always say, shouldna.

When written, it's wrong. When spoken, it's just ok.
