It is deprecation warning, yast2-bootloader sets new option there instead of vga one.
SiS and mga chips and other legacy chips are not affected by including video= on cmdline because there is no KMS support for them. Only KMS responds to video=. Only vga= can specify video mode on ttys for KMS-unsupported gfxchips.
gfxpayload for not help in such case?
What I do know is vga= not only still works, but also it's nice and short, a pleasure to use on cmdlines already swollen by multiple instances of UUIDs and/or device IDs plus the long-winded other options not in existence or needed before Grub2. I've never been able to grok and retain man page explanation how to use /etc/default/grub's non-intuitive similar video options GRUB_GFXMODE, GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX, GRUB_TERMINAL, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT et al for configuring Grub2 cmdline for video. It's nice if yast2 understands how it all plays together, but that's little comfort for a user familiar with Grub Legacy's shell prompt interactive editing of a stanza, looking instead at a Grub2 edit menu trying to interactively tweak the much more complex Grub2 stanza. If Grub Legacy must go, it should at the same time be replaced by something that also embraces KISS principle favored by many. Grub2's complexity is unlikely to ever to fill such a role, unlike Syslinux/Extlinux, or Grub Legacy. A Yast installation menu choice only between Grub2 and install no bootloader at all is very sad, very much narrowing the gap between what has historically been the best Linux installer around, and the also-rans from other distros. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
