I also find SAO to be worth it now, even when I encode to really high bitrates. The smoothing is so minor with current versions that there really is no need to turn it off anymore.

If you think x265 smooths too much with SAO on, and SAO does not help much because the bitrate is so high, then you might want to use x264 instead.
