I agree. The only real solution for this if you are rendering a long
video is to break it up and use a render farm. That's the bad
news. The good news is that you can do that *relatively* cheap with
linux and raspberry pi, or with those crappy old laptops you've
replaced over the years but haven't quite thrown away. When you farm
it out like that, you can use cheap boxes with crappy processors and
it's OK -- because that's not where you savings in time comes from.
The modeling software Blender now has a "reasonable" video editor
module as long as you are not trying to do hard core stuff, and it
supports network rendering with a plugin.
Here's a discussion setting up a render farm in Blender (using macs):

Here's a pointer to farm management software for Blender:

However, please consider this just a pointer. The last time I did this
kind of rendering was a couple of years ago.
Note that you don't have to use linux for this -- these are cross
platform apps, but linux saves you that used dirty feel in the morning.
