several people have already said that: if you want specific quality, use CRF, and only use 2-pass if you need a specific filesize.

The time where you needed 1000 passes with 10000 compressibility checks is long over! One (1) pass with crf will give you the desired quality, and it is efficient. you'll not get better quality by using 2-pass, only by using more bitrate.
