What are the odds that this will support 1080p streaming with Plex? I've tried Plex on a Pi 3 using a Roku as a player with 1080p and it's a complete failure. Plex tries to encode everything even if native playback to the Roku is possible using the Roku media player.

If encoding is required? Almost certainly won't work, it's just not powerful enough. But you should avoid reencoding if at all possible, and I imagine it will work if you can manage to disable it.

My plex isn't on a Pi but I do not have this issue with Roku Express as a player. Could be other factors like the video codec and direct stream is set on Roku.
