Don't take my word for it, but I believe that if you have a GPU which supports VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library you can safely disable shader pre-caching.

You can check if your GPU supports it by using vulkaninfo in your terminal. It should output something like this: VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library : extension revision 1

The application (game) should take care of its needs and not introduce new problems.

Thanks for your suggestions though :)
