VaM 1.x Is it possible to recalculate the normals or smooth them out somehow?

Hello, I'm using tessellation from Hunting Succubus. The plugin smooths the edges, but the normals themselves remain unchanged, which is why the highlights are so bad. Is there a way to recalculate them or fix this?

The only way to eventually change normals is through the shader (so the material), so no, unless you come up with your own custom shader.

There is a Custom Shader Loader plugin and there are already a couple of shaders for it. Will any other custom shader work or do I need a special shader?

No, you need to come up with your OWN shader. Recomputing normals based on the tesselation of a model obviously needs specific instructions
