I can offer some examples, in particular because I generate lots of
such statistics after muxing in my private tree.

- Decklink output statistics - late arrival and drop counts for audio
and video packets, pipeline latency (time between submission to the
hardware and the callback indicating frame was played out), FIFO
levels within the module, video frames actually played out in last
second, audio samples played out in last second.

- SRT output - various SRT related statistics (lost packets,
retransmits, connection RTT, etc)

- HLS output - counters for various HTTP recoverable events (HTTP
redirects, resends, etc), packets written
