That's right. I would recommend avoiding i965-va-driver-shaders and use only i965-va-driver. The latter should be more efficient and supported by Intel. But you do need to ensure your hardware is new enough for VP9 decoding. Only Intel 7th generation (Kaby Lake) and later chips support VP9.
That said, if you have older hardware (Sky Lake or older) then it sounds like i965-va-driver-shader might be the next best option.
