Another consideration to complicate your choice is baby teeth. He may end up needing baby teeth removed later.
Anesthesia is my least favorite thing, but I think I would be inclined to take care of the dew claws now. Then closer to one year of age, assess teeth and neuter then.
There are many Yorkies who have annual dental cleanings under anesthesia and who do just fine, live to very old age.
Best wishes in your decision.
