I would avoid to create VFR material. It may just cause playback issues or problems for future editing, depending on the device.
Do you want to keep it as mpeg2 or is changing to AVC or HEVC an option?
If you want progressive output I would deinterlace (or bob deinterlace) everything using QTGMC and encode with x264 (AVC) as progressive.
Or encode everything as interlaced using x264 (MBAFF).
I doubt whether a more sophisticated method would really show a benefit.
It's not an answer to your question though …….
