Another thing you might want to consider: rumors are there are countries and even people outside of the USA with, like, non-**bleep** InterNet. I know, must be hard to fathom.

VP9 decoding in hardware needs an 8th+ gen Intel CPU and a supported OS. Chrome on Linux unfortunately doesn't support GPU acceleration. I'd strongly advise against using that very old experimental Chromium build with VAAPI enabled ... it surely has hundreds of unpatched vulnerabilities today.

I don't have a 4K monitor yet but I noticed Stadia is displaying the wrong connection speed (at least in Tomb Raider 2013) the last couple of days: I sometimes get "OK" instead of "Good" for several minutes but the resolution definitely still is 1080p and I see no artifacting or anything else unusual. The downstream speed stays stable at 3.5 mb/sec when this happens (which is 1080p60 speed).
There are no magic fixes for old technology. Stadia will eventually move from VP9 to the AV1 codec which needs even more processing power to decode. The solution is to buy new hardware.

Set your desktop resolution to 1920x1080 + find the option in your monitor's menu that disables upscaling to its native 2k resolution. This means you'll play with a much smaller window of course. There's not really anything else you can do until Stadia supports more resolutions.
