I am fine with The Shape of You as Latin, though others may not be.
My problems are with Thinking Out Loud and Sympathy for the Devil. I don't think they fit the rules very well, even with bongoes added.
And a remix done well is fine. But some are really not so hot.
I also have a personal hatred of the Blah Blah Cha Cha and the Chilly Cha Cha, but I would never say they are not cha Chas. That's just my taste; they are well within the rules.
And there is lots more modern Latin than Despacito,there are even Latin War horses like Besame mucho, Historia de Amor, Life is a Carnival, a lot of Ricky Martin, Tito Puente, Perez Prado, a lot of Jennifer Lopez, etc
(And no I do not hope for anyone to use the Macarena...)
