The mpv developers only support the latest release. 2. The initial Vulkan support, which I've got working (x86_64 only for now). I can't merge it yet until core-updates is merged though. I agree having three ffmpeg versions is undesirable. However, looking at the release notes ("This release needs recent FFmpeg (newer than 3.4) due to major refactoring.") this is hopefully a one-time thing. When stable ffmpeg is updated we can get rid of the -git version. mpv is the only one using the -git version and it's been very solid for me, so I don't foresee problems there. Replacing ffmpeg@3.4.1 entirely with this -git version seems too extreme a solution to me. Hopefully that explains my rationale a bit!
