I'm also thinking about reconfigure the Pi to things like PiKVM for remote controlling :)

Hardware encoding requires a GPU, currently I believe the best option is Intel Quick Sync. (Of course if you are using a CPU without iGPU, such as Intel "F" series, NVENC and AMD VCE is also supported by many applications) So it needs to do PCI passthrough to the VM or using a LXC and passthrough it to the LXC container.

One advantage of using LXC than VM is you can share a single GPU between multiple containers at no cost. Technically 12-Gen Intel CPU supports SR-IOV but I'm afraid that the iGPU performance is split among VMs.
