Doubt Shunsui is one of the last war powers. The only thing that would make me assume he is so is because Haschwalth decided to confront him personally, he doesn't often do so, only opting to confront two people in combat, Ichigo and Shunsui. One of whom is the top of the war powers, he doesn't seem like an imbecile, seems like he only confronts powerful opponents and those who he is confident to defeat, just gonna throw it out there that Haschwalth is probably stronger than the Elite guard.

If I was Yhwach i would name Inoue and Urahara or maybe Uryu as my last two war powers. Probably wouldn't see grimmjow as a threat because he easily defeated Tier, and now hes stronger than before and he still has Yamamotos bankai and the Almighty he will probably fodderize Grimmjow.

I would name Inoue because of her irritating healing ability and perhaps her attack move, even Aizen openly acknowledged the power of her abilities.

Urahara because he is Urahara, hes pretty clever, might find a way to beat him BUT, hes been surprised an awful lot lately. So im gonna bank on Uryu being the final war power just as much as Urahara. Why?

Heres a list of validish reasons why Uryu is a war power:
 * Hes immune to Auswhalen or however you spell it. Presumably one of the few things preventing a rebellion and acts as a deterrent, Uryu is immune to one of his greatest assets in keeping Quincy under his thumb.
 * Hes a Quincy who wasn't neccesarily loyal to Yhwach, who was immune to Auswhalen and could hold a power greater than his own? Maybe his Almighty doesn't work on him?
 * He has shown visible effort in recruiting the war powers to his side, attempting to recruit Ichigo and Aizen, both parties are less than likely to join his cause.
 * Yhwach actually values him, named him successor despite having Haschwalth who in his own right fills that role at night AND is seemingly very powerful, a valid choice for a good successor gone to waste there. This raises Uryu's worth.
 * Chose to give him the same letter why would he give any ordinary person his own power?
 * Hes also like a semi-rival of the protagonist, makes sense hes kind of evaluated as a SWP just as fairly.
