I can give you some tips I gathered from observation on own experience.

I wouldn't do a nnedi3 upsize after QTGMC deinterlace. It adds a too "antialiased" look (nnedi3 twice). You can either use a different resizer or try the lossless/sourcematch feature of QTGMC although by doing the latter your script would get really slow.

Since footage is mostly underwater I think it would benefit from the dither tools in order to help soothe quantization banding, and upload an already h.264 encoded file rather than lossless file, although I doubt you did this. By some reason at low quality encodes it seems to retain more quality a h.264HQ->h.264LQ than lossless->h.264LQ.

I would do most of the sharpening inside QTGMC too
