Yeah, there are a bunch of legacy profiles I've not seen in real-world deployments. I played around with that one myself ~5 years ago.

Everything for current content seems to have converged on Profile 5 (non-backwards compatible 10-bit HEVC) for VOD and Profile 8.1 (HDR-10 base layer) for Live that I know of.
