Yes, but honestly I think you are over simplifying it...... For example, are you intending to capturing scenes with high activity that requires a much higher bandwidth and transcoding capability?
Anyone can capture and transcode to say H265 even, 4K@60FPS if you're just capturing a black backdrop. The capability exists and as you've stated the existing solutions can be crazy expensive, but if you're going to homebrew a solution you need to do some work/testing to make sure what YOU want to capture can be done within YOUR budget.
