Unfortunately rav1e will disappoint you at the moment, as far as parallel encoding goes.
I don't know if most other codecs can be said to scale as well as you say, different codecs serve different different purposes, recent ones centered around consistent real-time performance will use the dozens of cores available in workstations nowadays, but most hit the cap pretty soon depending on config.
