MV interpolation of mixed TV+cinema to 120fps progressive

Transcoding a mix of TV and telecined video is the hardest task. It is the last piece in my task list. I present the issues, my nomenclature, some ffmpeg, and some issues.
I would appreciate your thoughts and some clues to overcoming the issues.

Code:
"fps" means "frames per second", "sps" means "scans per second", "pps" means "pictures per second".
29.9fps[59.9sps]        (read: "29.9 fps of 59.9 sps")                    is interlaced scans (e.g. NTSC).
29.9fps[2-3[24pps]]     (read: "29.9 fps of 2-3 pull-down of 24 pps")     is hard telecined (2-3 pull-down) cinema.
29.9fps[3-2[24pps]]     (read: "29.9 fps of 3-2 pull-down of 24 pps")     is hard telecined (3-2 pull-down) cinema.
29.9fps[3-3-2-2[24pps]] (read: "29.9 fps of 3-3-2-2 pull-down of 24 pps") is hard telecined (3-3-2-2 pull-down) cinema.
29.9fps[2-2-3-3[24pps]] (read: "29.9 fps of 2-2-3-3 pull-down of 24 pps") is hard telecined (2-2-3-3 pull-down) cinema.
'c' denotes combed frame, '-' denotes uncombed frame, time flows left to right.

          \____________\___(2 combed frames alternate with 5 / 7.. uncombed frames) -- always odd, always 2 combed frames, seemingly random intervals.

                                       \
                                        A well cut, 'Hard Telecine' segment always begins with an uncombed frame.
                                        A poorly cut, 'Hard Telecine' segment may suffer 1 or 2 combed frames coinciding with scene change.
For 29.9fps[59.9sps] segments:
Code:
  SET   UNWEAVE=settb=expr=1001/30000,setpts=expr=N,separatefields,split[1][2]
  SET    FIELD1=[1]select=eq(mod(n\,2)\,0),minterpolate=fps=120000/1001:mi_mode=mci:scd=fdiff,settb=expr=1/120,setpts=expr=N,split[3][4]
  SET    FIELD2=[2]select=eq(mod(n\,2)\,1),minterpolate=fps=120000/1001:mi_mode=mci:scd=fdiff,settb=expr=1/120,setpts=expr=N[5]
  SET       BOB=[3]select=lt(n\,2)[6]
  SET  AFTERBOB=[5]select=gt(n\,1)[7]
  SET     MERGE=[6][7]tinterlace=mode=merge[8]
  SET NEWFIELD2=%FIELD2%,%BOB%,%AFTERBOB%,%MERGE%
  SET     WEAVE=[4][8]weave[v]
  -filter_complex "%UNWEAVE%,%FIELD1%,%NEWFIELD2%,%WEAVE%"
The 2 fields are separated and independently 4x MV converted to 120fps.
As the 1st field stream passes through unaltered, duplicates of its 1st 2 frames are split off.
The 2nd field stream is delayed by 2 frames and merged with the 2 split off frames from field 1. That process, 1, bobs the 1st 2 frames, and 2, shifts field 2's frames to temporally align them with field 1, thereby making progressive frames out of scan fields with zero cosmetic filtering!
The 2 streams are then woven.

For 29.9fps[2-3[24pps]] segments:
Code:
  -filter_complex "settb=expr=1001/30000,setpts=expr=N,detelecine,minterpolate=fps=120000/1001:mi_mode=mci:scd=fdiff,settb=expr=1/120,setpts=expr=N[v]"
The result is 5x MV interpolation of the detelecined source.

To pull this off, I need a flag, 'combed', so that, after I combine filter graph sections, I know when to switch between them. Cu Selur suggested I try 'tdm.IsCombed' (https://github.com/HomeOfVapourSynth...ynth-TDeintMod) but I think it scans an entire clip and can't flag segments.

And I'd also like to replace 'minterpolate' with pipes to/from VapourSynth's superior MV interpolation: Super(), Analyse(), SmoothFps(), but I don't know whether a pipe in the middle of a filter graph is possible -- I suspect not -- or alternatively, whether ffmpeg can support 2 filter graphs with to/from pipes between them -- I've never tried 2 'filter_complex's in one ffmpeg command).
