I have been really happy with Sunshine as well.

If your server is Linux and you have an NVIDIA card, I would also recommend applying the NVFBC consumer card restriction removal patch[1] to your driver libraries to allow you to capture directly from the GPU rather than X11/Wayland. Sunshine will automatically detect this and use it and it reduces the latency even further.

AFAIK the NVFBC patch is no longer required for new Sunshine versions thanks to https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/2471.

However, NVIDIA say that "The NvFBC desktop capture library does not have native Wayland support and does not work with Xwayland" (https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/565.77/R...), so I guess it's of no use for Wayland users.

Oh wow, thanks for pointing me to that -- I've still been patching my driver every update for no reason.
