Okay, I think I found a solution to my issue. It seems that smpte432 is not supported by ffmpeg as colorspace filter. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6132#no1

I was suspecting smpte432 to be an issue because of the warning message, but failed to convert colors with the command from step 2 and didn't noticed at first.

With this command I managed to do it:

ffmpeg -i input.webm -t 10 -vf "scale=854:480,colorspace=all=bt709:iall=bt709:range=pc" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -pix_fmt yuv420p output1.webm

I don't know if this should be handled by shaka packager so I leave this issue open to let you decide.
