I don't think so in the current version.
Also from the last tests i've seen (about 6 months ago) with hardware encoding Nvidia was practically the same quality with their H265/AV1 (Quality Profile 10Bit) encoding using Nvidia 4000 series.
On Intel (Quality Profile 10Bit) H265 actually offered better quality for the same bitrate over their AV1 Encoding in the Arc series cards. So at least with this generation of GPUs i don't think AV1 transcoding is worthwhile.
Of course software encoding will give better results, but the CPU requirements are off the charts.
