The bulk of the API, which relies on the stateless decoder interface [1], and H264 stateless V4L2 controls has been ready for some time now, and there are various implementations supporting it.
Chromium supports it [2], and I've tested it on chromebooks, through chromeos builds. We haven't tried a non-chromeos build, and I would say it's quite some work.
GStreamer support is available as well. See [3] which should work for the latest H264 controls (the ones being moved out of staging).
LibreELEC developers maintain an Ffmpeg branch [4], I expect it will be updated for the latest H264 controls soon, and hopefully merged in mainline Ffmpeg.
GStreamer and Ffmpeg are relatively straightforward to build and test.
Thanks, Ezequiel
