Transparent encodes of fake 4k blurays

My goals when encoding are to be indistinguishable from the source based on my viewing conditions, with a bit of quality buffer should those viewing conditions change (closer seating, larger tv etc).

I havent started encoding my 4k blurays just yet, only 1080p, as i want to get a ryzen 4000 processor before to speed things up a tad. But i wanted to know if i should downsample them to 1080p?

Obviously true 4k i should leave as is, but with fake 4k, stuff that was mastered at 2k and then upscaled to 4k, should i leave that in the full 4k? Or will it be the same quality at 1080p as thats what it mastered at? I would likely save a whole lot more space doing this.
