In case of multiple well fitting values any of them is better than shop=yes.

For example, something on border of shop=convenience and shop=supermarket
would be well tagged by both shop=convenience and shop=supermarket.

In the worst case mappers will keep changing the tag from time to time.

It is certainly better than unspecific shop=yes.

(not sure whatever values listed in this specific case are well fitting or not)
