so the latest in chrome video acceleration saga is, having merely --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder may not be enough. i'm on X11 and to get video acceleration functional, i need addition switch;
--disable-features=UseOzonePlatform.
ozone platform is enabled by default as of late in chrome, and for some reason disables video acceleration atleast on X11.

When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.
You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:
