The truth is that the SRT support in ffmpeg is really not that robust for production use. It's great for a quick/dirty command line to test something out, but for the use cases you're describing I would suggest having ffmpeg output to a UDP port (e.g. udp://227.1.1.1:4001), and then use a tool such as the command line srt-live-transmit to pick up the feed and make it available via SRT. This will avoid all the buffering issues you're describing (as the SRT output is now completely disconnected from servicing the input).
