But not it's possible values :-(

May be.

But IMHO all supported ones should at least be listed by name.
At https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#Codec-Options I find only:

profile integer (/encoding,audio,video/)

    Possible values:

    ‘unknown’
    ‘aac_main’
    ‘aac_low’
    ‘aac_ssr’
    ‘aac_ltp’
    ‘aac_he’
    ‘aac_he_v2’
    ‘aac_ld’
    ‘aac_eld’
    ‘mpeg2_aac_low’
    ‘mpeg2_aac_he’
    ‘mpeg4_sp’
    ‘mpeg4_core’
    ‘mpeg4_main’
    ‘mpeg4_asp’
    ‘dts’
    ‘dts_es’
    ‘dts_96_24’
    ‘dts_hd_hra’
    ‘dts_hd_ma’

level integer (/encoding,audio,video/)

    Possible values:

    ‘unknown’


And at https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#libx264_002c-libx264rgb
there is only:

profile (/profile/)

    Set profile restrictions.

But nowhere is documented e.g.:
-profile:v baseline
-profile:v main
-profile:v high
-level 3.x

Maybe there are also e.g.:
-profile mpeg4_baseline
-profile mpeg4_high
