Going down this rabbit hole as well (ffmpeg 5.1.2). So far the main blockers seem to be vlc, opencv/4, OpenSceneGraph/osg and OpenImageIO/OIIO (need gcc12? cmake fails to find pthread. Has a few deps as well).

My main concern is what to do about projects like ppsspp that seem to be unlikely to make changes for ffmpeg5?

[paper42]

Patch them, remove them or create separate packages with v4 libraries, but I think we might want to wait a bit.
