I planned to purchase the MSI B450M VDH Pro Max but noticed the motherboard can only handle up to 2048 MB of shared VRAM. Can I boost the RAM capacity further in the future?

Only applies when using an APU for graphics. Standard GPUs can use any VRAM size without restrictions from the motherboard.

It really doesn't matter much at all. Windows will simply release the extra memory into system RAM once you run out of VRAM, which you're using as VRAM originally. You could configure shared RAM to around 256 or 512 Mb and performance wouldn't change because Windows will already utilize System RAM for VRAM when your IGPU runs out. Don't worry, Windows will handle it for you
