Was considering building a streaming rig around a Mac Mini. I wonder if with these performance enhancements, that will work for me?

Highly depends on what you're streaming. If you stream arcade 2D games of the past, or software development, it should be perfectly fine.

AAA titles with newer graphics, well, you can always send a capture the PC with the nvidia card's screen through a capture card.

Back in my days of streaming, macOS was no option, cca. 2017. Today I'd do it with any M processor mac without a second thought.

If you are - recording your screen but not streaming - you are not customizing what goes into your screen Then use something else. GPU screen recorder has a lower overhead and produces much smoother recordings: https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/

Looks neat but seems like a complete hassle to get up and running and maintain, unless if your goal is to learn how screen recorders work.

Why not just use quicktime?

Edit: I think you might have skipped reading the post. It's about OBS on MacOS. Where quicktime exists. Your suggestion seems geared toward Linux.

The linked post is about a new Metal-based renderer for OBS Studio on MacOS. The software you linked is for Linux.
