Hi, Do you have to adjust the tightness of the belt?
No. I didn't have to. Stepper driver was faulty, Vref was ok but I still had layer shift. Some day I tried to home my printer and one of the axis stepper did not work. Replaced it with another stepper driver and work since now.

Is it possible to "test" a stepper driver or do you just have to replace on faith as it were?

I'm getting lots of shops on both my X and Y axis. Is there a way to determine if it's drivers without actually ordering new ones?

Switch them with each other (Z and Y, X, Z looks good to me) and watch which direction layer shift is. If you have both axis layers shift, It is hard to believe that 2 stepper drivers are bad. It may be something else.

1000mm/s is too fassssst.

A10M is able to fine prints up to 45mm/s. Slightly faster with lower quality. Mixing extruder tax. Try my profile, there are embedded solution to minimize lost steps (layer shifts) by little Z-lift when moved over perimeters.
A10M Slic3r profile: here and fresh on github (lot of tips here)
A10 Slic3r profile: here
TIP: tight all screws and wheels (except right side of Z axis) and re-align frame while assembly. And silence it.
