Thanks for sharing, this will come handy. (I've been doing something similar (but much simpler), mostly various transcoders as tools/helpers for my daily editing needs. Also trying to be more modular this time, to avoid long spaghetti code.)

ffx264/ffhevc are pretty simple and small. I will keep them that way and will no longer go the h264enc way. The latter got too complex and big for my taste. With ffx264/ffhevc I try to add just the "enough" for me, what I require to encode bluray remuxes
