Don’t waste your time at this, moreover it would be misleading. We can explicitly convert the high-bitdepth clips to 8 bits for analysis. Anyway, I think there is a definite benefit to run the analysis on 10–12 bits. I often remap the luma channel to increase the contrast is some specific ranges (generally the dark parts), and keeping 8 bits crunches other ranges, reducing the accuracy of the analysis on fine textures.
