I capture 4K60 and 1080P60 simultaneously using one instance of FFmpeg
with no artifacting (ever) or perceivable loss in quality for 7-8 hours at
a time
consistently.

No crazy hardware - a few capture cards (HD60 Pro + Magewell Pro Capture
HDMI 4K Plus), 6800K, 16GB of RAM, GTX 1050 (handles encoding), and
an Intel 600P NVME SSD for storage.
