The noise in the film sections is hard to deal with. It looks like the noise removal used previously stabilised what it didn't remove, so it doesn't behave like noise. I think QTGMC would clean it up okay, but it might soften the picture too much. It might be better to just leave it.

I can confirm that the noise is difficult to deal with. I tried a bunch of different filters - mcdegrainsharp, temporaldenoise2, QTGMC, TNLMeans - and while the intro looked great, the film sections had too soft a picture for my tastes. The more filters I try, the more I prefer just field matching and decimating and leaving the progressive frames alone. I think the higher picture quality outweighs the benefits of denoising, in this case. Viewing distance is a factor too. The noise is less noticeable when I'm sitting on the couch watching on my 4K TV compared to a couple of feet from my computer monitor.
