PS4 Controller not working in steam unless PS4 Configuration suppourt is enabled

I've got all my input working great with the new input system in a stand alone build, mouse keyboard, Xbox, PS4, coop menus all that.

However I have two issues after downloading the build and running from steam.

The first is that if I don't go into controller settings and turn on PS4 configuration support the PS4 controller doesn't work. I don't like activating this setting as it introduces some input lag. I tend to have it turned off when playing other steam games and it usually works fine.

The second is that the controllers don't work at all for steam remote play. I know this is already a reported bug, but it's frightening to see the issue written off as 3rd party at the moment. I suspect a lot of our user base will want to use steam remote play so no having this feature isn't acceptable for us. Our game will be in development for 2 more years. Do I need to switch to rewired or can someone confirm that this will this be fixed in that time period.

I really don't want to switch input systems as we have most of our input for the core of the game and menus already working great minus these two, kind of show stopping issues.

Thanks in advance for any help and I must say besides these issue I'm really liking the new input system.
