One of the main (even fundamental) problems of OBS, in my opinion, is the need to share GPU with other apps with same priority. I know that Windows doesn't allow developers to set GPU priority. But what about Game Mode in Win10? Doesn't it set higher priority to running game at the expense of others app performance? So maybe there is an "undocumented" way to make Windows think that OBS is a game and it should get all necessary resources, and conversely, make Windows think that running game is not a game. I'm not a specialist in this area so don't judge me too much if my question is silly.
Win10 Game mode and GPU priority

Not sure I understand what are you talking about. Anyway, if there is any chance to give OBS all GPU resources it needs, that should be investigated and implemented as soon and possible, so we finally get rid of the eternal problem "I have I9-9999 and RTX 3090 but my stream is stuttering and not smooth at all". There always be games that use all your GPU.
Can any OBS developers comment on my question, please?

Sorry, let me be clearer.
The problem is due to Windows 10 giving games all the priority, with basically nothing OBS can do about it. But Microsoft have implemented a fix, which is available in the latest Windows Insider build (basically a Windows 10 beta build). That means this fix will likely be released on Windows 10 in a future update.
