and at which QP this merges currently depending on the overall Preset Setup in x265 or does it explicitly need AQ enabled, and how this shifts between Generations ?

Or do you know some papers this was discussed about in General @ HEVC at conferences primarily maybe by Ateme, Dolby, Technicolor, Sony, Samsung ?

Uhhh... No.
