Although, I just now realized, maximum bitrate does not limit the average bitrate that I can use.

correct, its just the max bitrate that needs to be lowered. consider also that if you were encoding to real 29.97fps at the same average bitrate and higher max bitrate the bits would have to be spread over more frames so the extra you get from the higher max bitrate doesnt mean it will actually look any better.
