In the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode, I need to use square brackets into the "separator" argument.
But as soon as I do so, the shortcode breaks down.
Thanks.

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, the square brackets characters are reserved by WordPress shortcode API, so you can not use them as shortcode attribute values.
As a workaround, you can create another shortcode to replace the separators as what you want, for example:
1) Add below codes into your theme file "functions.php"

add_shortcode('my-replace', function($atts, $content){
	return $res = str_replace('|', '[', do_shortcode($content)); // replace [ with what you want
});

2) use above shortcode to wrap wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode, like this:
[my-replace][wpv-post-taxonomy type="category" separator="| "][/my-replace]
