I just realized that transitions like the upcoming FFMPEG SONAME bump

There is no mechanism for automatic binNMUs for packages that depend on it
either :) It's done by the Release Team manually based on the package list
generated on the transition tracker page. So what you want can be done either
by making a similar tool and integrating it into the Release Team workflows,
or, probably, changing the transition tracker condition for your specific
library (ffmpeg) to also match Recommends. I don't think most of other shared
library packages are in some Recommends.
The transition tracker can use Recommends, see some old transitions for
examples:
