Painter has to be set to OpenGL otherwise you can't use VAAPI profile:

For the profile settings I have:

Playback profile: VAAPI

if rez >= 1920 1080 & > 0 0 vaapi and opengl

Decoder: VAAPI acceleration
Max CPUs: 2
Deblocking filter: ticked

Video renderer: opengl vaapi
OSD renderer: opengl2
OSD fade: ticked
