I’d need to get into that kind of retro content first (more of a late 90s/early 00s kind of person), but you’re right, that resolution would be perfectly fine for older pixel graphics (assuming the streaming codec doesn’t mangle it somehow)!
Comment on Anon is only a little strange

Sounds perfect for streaming yourself playing early 1980s Atari 2600 games. The low quality video would be an element of immersion mimicking 1980s video tech.

Having no basis for old Atari 2600 games would be an interesting premise for streaming. The audience could see you reactions as you see a game for the first time, puzzle out the controls, game strategy, and then the play through. Leverage your lack of knowledge and experience on it as part of the content.

You’d have to also try to emulate CRT screens to ‘cut’ the pixels up.

I bet there’s a filter you can put over your video stream that makes it look like a CRT

I know there’s some for games, none work on linux though, that I know of. .-.
