We only had a couple of objects pinned and they were small not significant. Nothing was really running either except the some .net jobs I am checking out

If by pinned you mean kept (with dbms_shared_pool pkg), the large chrunk space you are talking about might have not been released because it was part of an object that was being pinned at that moment (executed/parsed/etc at that moment) or maybe it was a permament chrunk which
won't get released by executing a flush shared pool. Where did you see that chrunk?

What I would do is to set 4031 event in the init.ora file, and would also try to keep all the important objects in the SP. Exactly what you have already done.
If you are not seeing contention for the SP latch you don't have to worry for SP freelists fragmentation. Anyway I believe it's good practice to keep some objects (procedures as well as cursors) in the SP to avoid such fragmentation and to minimize reloads/reparsing. Depending on the session lifetime, and in the amount of concurrent sessions, I believe cursor_space_for_time= true grabs a lot of SP memory. That might have been the cause of your 4031 problem. Maybe you got out of SP free memory because of that.

HTH
Regards
Diego.
