That depends on what you want to achieve. If you use the copy codec
("-c copy"), you get a much faster creation of the target file, but
with unchanged codecs. You write:

MP4 is just a container format. If the consumers of your files can
decode AV1, then fine.
You would need to re-encode if the source file contains codecs not
supported by MP4.
