Update: After experiencing the NEW TrueHD issue
I noticed some people saying there was a potential fix for the TrueHD issue in 9.2.Beta or something similar (not sure whether that is Shield Experience, given the numbering scheme I guess it could be), I noticed that PMS 1.26 latest beta apparently has a fix for HW transcoding.
I downloaded and installed PMS 1.26.0.5715.
QUOTE - Plex Media Server 1.26.0.5715 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel.
NEW:
** (Metadata) Pull down country info for TV shows during metadata refreshes (#13463)*
FIXES:
** (Music) Improve artist searches when the search term is an alias (#13441)*
** (PubSub) A pubsub server with sub-optimal latency could be selected (#13480)*
** (Transcoder) Hardware transcoding could fail on Nvidia SHIELD TV systems (#13452)*

I have yet to test hardware transcoding fix (not sure how to force it), but it seems it may have fixed the TrueHD 7.0 playback issue on My Roku Ultra devices (for the most part, based on limited testing).
