Might I inquire the thought behind this? It's my impression that unless one is
using glamor, modesetting won't ever outperform xf86-video-intel (which defaults
to the hardware blitter on gen9+). Certainly modesetting might be a logical
choice if there are corruption issues.

It sounds more like the person is missing all the required vaapi goop to me, but
I'm genuinely curious if you know something I don't :-)
