"No output Packet, encoder is overloaded!" Update

So last week I posted an update about OBS hanging on "Stopping Recording" and the following error showing up in the log repeatedly:

[AMF] <Id: 6> No output Packet, encoder is overloaded!
[AMF] <Id: 6> Input Queue is full, encoder is overloaded!

I'm baffled as to why OBS doesn't feel the need to alert me to this error occurring, because if I knew, I wouldn't have lost 17 min of footage. Is this AMD Radeon Vega 3 getting overloaded from 1080p at 30fps when I do hardware encoding? I would think that GPU could handle it.

I ended up switching back to x264 software encoder because that has never crashed on me and if the encoding is dropping frames, it lets me know with a message right away, so I feel more informed. Am I missing something? It's one thing if the machine hardware just isn't up to the task, but it seems strange that encoding 1080p at 30fps would be problematic for this Acer Aspire 5.

Here's the full log from the session last week with the error:
