The only scholar I know from deobandi background who permitted it was faraz Rabbani.

Sidi Faraz actually took this opinion from leading Hanafi scholars of Pak. This is the actual fatwa he gate: "Walaikum assalam,

I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.

I consulted a number of leading Hanafi scholars, including Mufti Rafi Usmani (Grand Mufti of Pakistan), about this. Their response was that it is permitted for Hanafis to pray witr behind Shafiis even if they pray it differently from the Hanafi three rakats--such as two-plus-one. This is based on a followable position within the Hanafi school that what matters is the imam's prayer regarding the validity of his prayer.

And Allah alone gives success.

Faraz Rabbani"
