In your FFmpeg configuration :

--disable-nonfree


Therefore FFmpeg will not be applicable to these codecs .


You may test your system by working with   .webm , .vp8 , or .vp9  codecs .
These are patent-free .


I do not know OBS . It is also necessary to check its documentation and
configuration whether
it ignores non-free codecs  or passes them to the used program for handling
them .

Another point is GPU hardware . If GPU is able to handle patented codecs (
obviously this requires required
licenses are available to hardware for GPU ) , then configuration of your
FFmpeg and encompassing programs
using the FFmpeg can be configured to use GPU supplied facilities .
I do not know exactly if FFmpeg has a facility for this case . Please check
FFmpeg documentation .
