I've sent some patches to the mailing list that add an option to
periodically repeat the headers in nut:
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/list/?series=2709

With the series, the following works for me:
./ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -codec:v rawvideo -f nut -header_period 15
zmq:tcp://127.0.0.1:10000
./ffplay -f nut -i zmq:tcp://127.0.0.1:10000

Let me know if you can also test.
