I have the latest Shield TV update along with the latest Kodi nightly installed.
Hooked tht Shield to a Denon ATMOS receiver and then to a Samsung 4K TV.
The problem:
There is a delay of about 4 seconds when refresh rate is changed and the setting "Delay in Playback on refresh rate change" does not work whether I set it to 1 second or 8. The same setting works fine on MrMC. On Kodi audio starts after like 0.5 seconds of clicking on play while the screen is still black as it is switching refresh rates. Passthrough is ON and Refresh rate switching is ON.

My setup seems to be the same as yours, except I have a Sony 4kTV. I seem to have a .5 delay at times when switching. Sound works fine.
My 'Delay after change of refresh rate' is Off.
I turned on all settings under Whitelist
Adjust display refresh rate is set to On start/stop

Mine is the same. Tried 'Delay after change of refresh rate' all the way to 20 and it still doesn't delay. Starts immediately.

I have had intermittent issues with this feature since Krypton. It has seemed worse since the upgrade to Leia in conjunction with the Nvidia Shield's native update. I think it has also been a contributing factor to some lip sync issues (also intermittent) that I have been experiencing with increased regularity.
The shield in my theater room is used exclusively for movies and since my projector is limited to 1080p, the solution was simply to change the global setting in Kodi to 1080p at 23.967. I was reticent to do this as this solution introduced horrible lagginess in the KODI interface on an earlier RPI librelec setup I had before. I am happy to report that I see no such issues with the SHIELD.

This issue persists in 18.4...
Does it need to be re-reported?

I've got this same issue too, not present in 18.3 it's just not useable like this, every video i start starts to play then a few seconds later screen blanks off like it's changing refresh rate to match content but why the hell is it taking so long, it's unbearable as it is, gone back to 18.3.
