On the other hand you can't make ffmpeg to keep full range with libx264 nor can it encode into rgb.

I'll just stick with rgb. Even though I have to in two/three steps. A good encoder tool just doesn't exist.
(I even tried mencoder, but it doesn't accept output_csp even though it's in the documentation and fails with "FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver." which I can't even comprehend )
