It is alive, you can be sure of it. It is a shounen, why would Oda made WB talk about their "legendary duels" just to resolve it in a "well, now it is no linger valid" and it has been shown more than once during the manga. While the reasoning to say it is invalid it is the assumption that Shanks surclassed Mihawk in power through the years, Mihawk improved too and, until it is stated or shown otherwise, we have to assume their rivalry is still alive and well (the last concrete proof is still at the end of Marineford).
Zoro is not yet worthy to be considered a rival of Mihawk, an aspirant for the title but he is still not at Mihawk league. Shanks on the other hand has been a rival of Mihawk, now the feeling is still alive but I agree partially on your point because we will never see Shanks challenge Mihawk for the title of WSS, that is a thing of the past for Shanks yet the rivalry still lives (again, see Mihawk at the end of Marineford).
And I don't care either, all I'm saying is that these 2 were and are still rivals (even if not in the same way as in the past). And this implies their overall powerlevels were and still are comparable. Then of course Shanks will 99% have better coc while Mihawk to compensate will most likely have better coa. A bit like I expect his hawk eyes are what let him counter Shanks FS and super speed. Still Mihawk must have a good level of coc to survive Shanks plus we also have Zoro with coc so Mihawk will have at least something better than Wano Zoro.
That is a problem of Mihawk, he severely lacks serious feats and so his fans a lot of times have to go take from Shanks feats.
