Have very specific IDR frame placement requirement for x264.

I want IDR frames to have min distance of 24 frames (and maximum of 99), but I don't want scene change detection to be off. In case there are scene changes happening inside 24 frames period I want 2nd one to be skipped. Is this possible at all with x264/ffmpeg?
Is the only way to let x264 create 1st pass and than analyse it and overwrite "broken" places with I frames?
Can I copy x264 frame decision from 1st pass and than adjust it (change "bad" IDR frames to I) and start new encode with this as qpfile?
Will this be ok? Is there a faster way?
