I know that OBS has pipewire window/screen capture but I want to use ffmpeg to capture as I can use x11grab on xorg

Depends on if your Window Manager supports the extension
Do you specifically need ffmpeg? If it’s just screen recording from the terminal, wl-screenrec has the best performance (meaning low CPU usage) for Wayland screen capture. It does require the new screen capture extensions so it will depend on your compositor.
ffmpeg has very customizable options to record/stream, it gives many options to control which encoder to use, which max/min bitrate to use, which audio codec use, so it’s almost obs but in cli world
