Couldn't agree more, but the gst-launch commands get very big and 
cumbersome easily. If had the time I would start building something in 
Python.

I already know OBS studio but I never gave it a try up until now. It's 
quite cool. Going to play with it :)

I really like it. It's much more intuitive to experiment with than 
gst-launch. I think gstreamer could really benefit from having such a 
tool. Pipewire is however in a proof of concept stage IMHO.
