Why we don't we have all studios (at leas small ones) using x264- it has been long time since it's BD complaint?
Answer- it does not give real advantage in case of BD production and even if it's free it does not change fact that it misses many features (+ it's relatively slow), which are essential for authoring studios, so there is no that big interest in using it (before even judging quality).

If x264 would have special high bitrate mode these artefacts would not be there- it's way good enough to avoid them, but it needs some optimisation for high bitrates.
Yes- gradients, low level details areas are week points of x264.
