the transfer rate should be faster than DVD write speed, allowing you to
burn the disc on the fly, without copying everything to the workstation
first.

changing the transfer protocol to gain a few percentage points on
throughout is a moot question when the bottleneck is clearly somewhere
else. If your workstation is a Raspberry Pi, you have probably reached it's
limits and should probably consider an upgrade for any measureable
performance gain.
