I have an SS20 running 9.x ...it shut downs properly, but is not 
completely stable, after a while the machine  needs a reboot because it 
spits out memory allocation issues. RAM should be good, changed most 
modules and a single warm restart fixes everything.

I have an SS10 still running 8.2 - it is literally rock stable, so I am 
very hestiant upgrading it to 9.x... fearing the same issue.
It powers down perfectly. It is annoying that it will not powerup with a 
"switch on the back" without cycling, but that I belive is an issue with 
the SS10 switch which is not a toggle.

I run both system headless.

This would narrow down the issue to either your SS10... or a change in 
NetBSD 9 vs 8.
