So how much weight can these things hold? I've put some shelves up using
them, and am now concerned they're gonna fall down onto my head! Been up
for a few years now though and don't appear to have moved.

Shelves are a static load. A fan will shake the fixings which I reckon
makes them much more critical.

If you've used toggle or butterfly fixings into lath and plaster, I'd
guess it would make a difference how near the studs they were too.
