Operating OBS in stream mode only

Currently, we are configured with a Black Magic ATEM Minipro switcher feeding our ethernet (fiber) directly to Youtube Studio. Can I run OBS in the stream-only mode in the background (as middleware)? I assume OBS would have to be launched each time we shut down the computer and minimize it, so we are still only monitoring the YouTube feed.

2nd question: If we are maintaining 6.5 - 7.5 Mbps streaming out of the Black Magic Minipro switcher, what advantage is there to constant bit rate coming out of the OBS Stream?
