The problem here is that BM won’t make a driver for a perfectly working unit (recognized by the M1 machine) just because they don’t make money out of it anymore. Even a company like Apple developed an M1 driver for the old emagic midi interface they stopped selling years ago.
I guess the only thing that could happen would be that some independent développer would make a driver for it… I’m gonna pass on this and turn to a cheap encoder, quality won’t be high but at least I’ll be able to do it.

Some of my software can't run on the new OS … yes, it's a mess…
the capture or recording of video is best done not with any computer, but with a hardware recorder HDMI/SDI and using a converter where needed, keeping in mind that also "cleaning up" is needed for analog video.
If only HDMI is used, BMD has Ultra recorders for 3G 12G TB3 for recent OS and hardware setups.
But holding on to your old computer saves you money, against buying each time new hardware, but the new harware is updated to higher resolutions or higher frame rates, when bulk workflow is needed, it's affordable i guess...
Don't know what you are using the Intensity Shuttle for, BMD should make a new updated one i guess, that one could be cheaper and with better quality, the Intensity Shuttle is one of the best capture devices for analog video, BMD is a hardware producer…. for HDMI "capture" there are also other (more) options available, that should be no problem, the real problem here is dat computers are constantly upgrading, if you can call this a problem…. so that's why it's beter to first
convert analog video the right way, and record it, this workflow is easy and will also give better results, and is much faster, because rendering of a clean signal will go faster. Capturing analog video is really a niche, what that concerns, vcr tapes will degrade over the years, not as fast as expected, good playback vcr's become also rare, good TBC equipment even more.
