There’s not much of a point to going beyond 1080p for the steam deck screen, nor is there for going above 60 FPS (until the OLED version ;) ).
Sunshine has AV1, but there’s not many hardware encoder available for AV1 that aren’t near top of the line video cards (GTX 4xxx series, latest AMD series). the h264/h265 codecs are faster anyways which is important for the latency here (vs. streaming a movie).
The best thing you can do is make sure your network setup at home is top notch. Upgrading my WIFI router did wonders for moonlight streaming to my deck.
