As for b-frames, yes the max of 16 should work everywhere, and I've verified it works in practice on a wide variety of decoders.

Efficiency gains at >8 are pretty small unless content is quite clean or very low bitrate (which tends to make it quite clean in practice due to the low pass filtering of high QP).
