No, at the same size crf and two pass give the same quality. Two pass is only useful when targeting a specific bitrate. Three pass is never useful as far as I know (use placebo instead if you have time to waste).

For archival I would use quality 17 (or lower), preset veryslow, and tune film, but otherwise that sounds good to me.
