Shanahan is smart enough not to just run at Chris Jones all day.
Anyone who has to set the edge against Kittle and Juice also have to cover them in play-action.

Tennessee and the Niners run similar offensive schemes, and that's going to help this defense in preparation. Is there team in the league that more closely resembles this Niners offense than Tennessee? Both offenses were very good on the season, with a slight edge to Tennessee in both rushing and passing efficiency.
Niners use more pre-snap motion and they teach their backs not to cut as early as Henry was cutting against KC. But, yeah, I think KC could not have asked for a better opponent than the Titans to help prepare them for the SF offense.
