Doug, I bring good news...
gstreamer1.0-vaapi actually does not depend on the "bad" plugins, or any
other gstreamer plugins.
And yes you are right mpv is much better than totem for performance and
smoothness. I hope to bring totem up to the same standard eventually.
totem/gst-vaapi will work in a Wayland session after we release my fixes
in 17.10. You can try an early version here:

For the most part it's worked well over the past couple of years, not
nearly as efficient as vaapi in mpv but still a decent reduction in cpu use.
(- probably 20 -35% of what totem would use without, similar to what vlc
does when vlc happens to work.
Though atm it, (totem/gst-vaapi) doesn't seem to work at all in wayland
session, actually only mpv does sans window deco..

Although gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad does have important uses such as
providing audio codecs and the GL plugin, totem will install it on
demand, anyway. So yes you should be able to drop it.
I would like to add a couple to that list though:
- va-driver-all (should include i965-va-driver)
- gstreamer1.0-vaapi
Is there value in getting them promoted to main for 18.04? I think
the codec licensing is taken care of by the graphics hardware vendor
so I think we should be ok there. If Totem will pull them in
automatically that's good - but I'd love to be able to go one step
further and have them "in the box".
Cheers, Will
