This(background-size) might have an acceptable effect with svg backgrounds, I believe, as the sizing would not be blurred.

The problem with text-shadow is that it is often used to increase the legibility of text against a background-color. I don't really see how you can bulletproof a design for browsers that don't support it. Seems to me your options are either use a method that works in all browsers or don't use it because otherwise, in most cases, having text-shadow support missing will make your content hard or impossible to read.
