Does anyone know if this format will work with youtube-dl and VLC?

Yes, VLC can play directly VP9, if you have an up-to-date release.

But to play the VP9 Youtube URLs, you need to be able to play DASH format too.

And this, DASH extension used by Youtube is not supported yet in VLC. However, it should be, for the next major release.

Yes. Use the -F flag and any formats that are WebM / DASH use this format.
