Ah, interesting.  I didn't actually look at the recipe... :/

GLES is the more universal option, and GL is definitely only specific to
certain pieces of hardware, so I can see why the recipe takes this approach.

The alternative would be to see if gst-vaapi can be told to use GLES
instead of GL out of the box, as that will run on far more hardware without
modification.

(GL being "OpenGL on X11" which is only really accelerated on x86 with
certain graphics cards, and if GL is being emulated in software then
there's certainly no point in using it for acceleration!)
