If I understand correctly, you want to delete all intermediate shapes
that are not a part of deformation chain for current shape(s)? then your
method fails even when there is a skin cluster on the mesh - there can
be multiple intermediate shapes due to mesh duplication and some of them
unused.
Normally an intermediate shape can be discarded if it's not being
connected anywhere, so just list all outgoing connections from each
intermediate shape and delete it if there's no connections.

Making a utility method to clean out duplicate shape nodes and I want

Instead of the if not m.listHistory(type='skinCluster'): I would love
if there was a way to check if there is any deformer type on the mesh....

for m in meshes:
# Filter out bound meshes
if not m.listHistory(type='skinCluster'):
shapes = m.getShapes()
for s in shapes:
if s.intermediateObject.get():
delete(s)
rename(m.getShape(), '%sShape' % m.name <http://m.name>())
