I didn't find mode 2 better than 1 in my test cases (reported earlier here in this thread) so I'm still using mode 1 with the default strength.

I think you need to find a new sweet spot for CRF since the bitrate demand is indeed quite different compared to mode 1, and I also think it depends heavily on the content.
