I’ve used museum putty and it fucking sucks because it’s hard to clean off due to a melted wax consistency, despite good holding power. Much prefer white tack, comes off easily and doesn’t stain or damage anything, but maybe has a slightly weaker hold.

Ive used picrel for yearsss, at least 5? Doesn't leave any residue on figures from what Ive seen. But its not gonna hold a crazy pose for eternity. Sometimes its the toys fault too though and they start to droop over. Maybe every 3-6 months depending on weight, pose, all that. If you just want it to stand a dude up who keeps falling itll be fine.

Also its dirt cheap for a good bit of it

I am looking to make my Kallax Shelf from Ikea into a diorama shelf. I wanna print out a decal of a dungeon floor and walls to stick on the shelves to make it seem like each shelf is a floor of a dungeon. Where is a good place to get custom sticker decals that would fit a shelf of that size?

The ones I know are decals.com and gameongraphix.
Just investigating now, decals.com gives a discount if you order 4 separate items that tile size, and gameongraphix is the same price ($60) if you upload one long strip image and then cut it into 4 yourself.
There may be a way cheaper option though, so check locally to you. (I see a cheaper local version but I'm not in the US)
I used gameongraphix for my arcade cabinet. From memory I did a pixel count myself in paint.net knowing it would print in 300ppi and I wanted it so many inches in size, and saved it as a tiff file since I didn't have photoshop.
Also you might want to think about how it'll sit. You won't want to stick it directly onto the shelf in case you change your mind so you'll probably want to buy relatively thin card to stick it on. I say that because it will come rolled up and so won't sit perfectly flat. If you go that route I would print it slightly larger than the floor area so you can fold it under the card so you don't see the lip.

If you also count the polystyrene that I had to pay 3 euros for 150 by 70 cm (the scene is in a detolf so about 30X30cm), the whole thing must have cost 10-11 euros
