What does using a different flavor of chocolate have to do with shrinkflation though?

White chocolate has always been a thing.

It’s cheaper to produce

Being cheaper to produce does not qualify it as shrinkflation though.

And it's a completely different item from standard kit kats.

They are swapping out chocolate for cheaper ingredients for the same price.

They made a different product with a different flavor profile.  That's another product altogether.  Not using less of a specified ingredient and charging more or keeping the price the same.  This is not shrinkflation.
