I'm not sure why, but I've found 10bit color to make smaller files than 8bit. CQ18 x265 is supposed to be the same as CQ22 x264.
I cannot tell you how many hours I've spent comparing the original source compared CQ18. I cannot tell the difference at all. HDR10 should not increase the size of the file either. Using two/three pass seems to me to be a waste of space to me. Constant Quality is just that. The quality is the same through the whole film and the size will be what it will be. If you just want to be more paranoid, then do CQ16. I'm just don't know why people are using two/three pass unless they want it to fit to a specific sized medium.
