why AV1 in 720p ? is it just for watcking in smaller devices or for archiving too? isnt AV1 encoders still very slow compared to h265 ?

The preferred AV1 encoder that ships with ffmpeg, SVT-AV1, is faster than any software H.265 encoder now. You can encode 1080p video in real time at preset 6 (the equivalent of 'medium' -- presets are on a scale from 0 to 13) on a $120 desktop CPU.
