I'm sure someone has a better answer than this - especially since you seem to be mostly hardware-driven, but I know in streaming software (OBS and Wirecast at least) you can stream in a different resolution than you record locally. I typically will stream at a pretty low bitrate for our mobile viewers (like 2500 bitrate) but I'll record the event locally at 25000 bitrate for editing/uploading later. Not sure about the ProRes as those cameras are not in my sandbox. I just use x264 for encoding both qualities as I'm not doing TV-type content - but I can change the encoder and settings for each.
However, if you have a lossless HDMI splitter, I don't see why splitting the raw signal wouldn't work. In fact, if you had a mixer for the audio in place and were able to incorporate that with the video switching, then take that single mix from the video switcher and split it - one to the Hyperdeck and the other to the broadcasting device (which will be downscaled) - wouldn't that work?
I don't know if the ATEM Mini Pro's ability to record to external HD is before or after the streaming encoding - but I know it can communicate with Hyperdecks on the same network. Again, that's outside of my sandbox, unfortunately.
