Yeah, the first time I tried AV1 (on CPU) I also cancelled the transcode after 4 hours.
I was out for a few days, so I left the encode on. It was something stupid like over 50 hours for a 90 minute movie on a 5800X (this was on the slowest preset doe the AV1 encoder, since that’s what always use for x264/x265).
I would imagine Threadripper 9000 performance is notably better than the the 1950X even if you get a 16 core CPU. Going for a 32 core CPU should roughly halve the timing even further.
