That warning is harmless and libx264 always gives it if you encode
interlaced.

I already said to use x264opts rather than flags so at least you get to
choose field dominance. You also need setfield to make ffprobe show the
correct field dominance.

What would be interesting to see is the output a v4l capture with debug
to see if v4l2 somewhere lists the field dominance of the frames it
outputs eg.

./ffmpeg -loglevel debug -f v4l2 -ts mono2abs -channel 1 -video_size 
720x576 -pix_fmt yuyv422 -thread_queue_size 512 -i /dev/video0 -t 1 -f 
null -
