From the link, it sounds like the big plan is to start incorporating use of certain SVT-HEVC features/tools within x265. Having a highly accelerated coarse motion search mode could help. Kind of like the OpenGL/CUDA experiments with x264 a while ago.
x265 has a TON of features where it can take input from a first pass and then refine it. Some of those don't require the stream be made with x265, and a few work with H.264 sources IIRC.
