For video transcoding, eh, maybe, but that's a solved problem: the iGPU on a modern CPUs can do more video streams at basically zero power usage than I'd ever need.
For Frigate? Oh absolutely. That started out requiring a TPU (A Coral at like 2 TOPS) for anything resembling usable performance, and then built some GPU models. No reason you couldn't use a 50 TOPS NPU instead, other than software support.
