The CPU X11 grabbing and NV12 conversion are quite expensive and single
threaded.

On my old Phenom II x4 3.4GHz CPUs forced to perf (cpufreq) I get about 69 fps
testing like -

gst-launch-1.0 -f ximagesrc use-damage=0 startx=0 starty=0 endx=1919 endy=1079
num-buffers=1000 ! queue ! videoconvert !
video/x-raw,framerate=100/1,format=NV12  ! fakesink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
Got EOS from element "pipeline0".
Execution ended after 0:00:14.408948605

1000/14.408948605 = 69.4

You could extend the test to include encode to fakesink and see what you get.

I would try cqp (default 26) as well as cbr.

If you can do the first test OK but not with encode maybe start playing with
forcing GPU to high rather than auto.

Also omx may be a bit faster if you can get that to work - it should, what is
in your /etc/xdg/gstomx.conf?

omx doesn't work properly with cbr. You can control cqp as needed, plus
b-frames work with omx maybe "free" for bonaire (but will be x2 slower with
more recent GPUs than yours).
