Oh! So it turns out that I do know that HDR10+ doesn't work.
I had trouble getting season 2 of Fallout to play and only just noticed that it was HDR10+. Downmixing the audio to stereo let it play fine, I assume that may have forced a transcode to a lower HDR spec. It didn't look as flattened as it would if it were converted to SDR.
Also, the Shield isn't listed anywhere as supported hardware for HDR10+, even before degoogling. That may change if it's just a licensing thing. So FAR, I've only had one thing not play for me as expected, so I don't currently feel like I'm missing out on anything.
Also haven't tried any AI upscaling. Decent bitrate 720 is watchable enough for me, and I try to limit my exposure to anything marketed as AI anyway.
If those couple of things are dealbreakers, you could maybe go down the debloating path instead of a different ROM? If I get another Shield for my other TV, I might try that first and compare my experiences between the two.
