No. It's impossible to predict what shaders will be needed in advance, unless Dolphin already has seen them before.

Yes, but in exchange, some graphics will be invisible while shader compilation is going on.

Yes, just play through the game without closing dolphin. Afterwards start from scratch and enjoy playing without shader generation
