So the following is no longer relevant.

Temporary solution, downgraded to the last available packages in the local pacman cache for now.
# select version 0.13.2-1 for both of these:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/v4l2loopback-dkms-0.13.2-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/v4l-utils-1.28.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
#refresh the module (or you could just reboot and skip these two commands)
rmmod -f v4l2loopback
modprobe v4l2loopback
