Unlike all other codecs, ProRes RAW is pretty much guaranteed to be slow as hell on the CPU, always having thousands of tiles. And even on a very slow GPU, a CPU decode won't be anywhere near to usable to make a difference.

The docs can be changed to say to use --help=hwdec-codecs to see the default codecs, like is already done for other options to avoid updating the docs everytime.
