It seems true is needed for most gstreamer encodes now, so I guess it 
will need to be set on.

As for regressions I haven't tried ffmpeg encode as it's currently not 
working.

One I found with mpv which I guess is obvious =

mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=vaapi foo

works with or without the env, but if foo is interlaced you can't use 
the vavpp de-interlacer with the env set.
