Yeah, your approach is the best I can think of until it becomes more feasible to personally encode test content that makes use of a realistic array of AV1 features.

Testing fast encodes risks skipping features, making decoding simpler for a SW decoder than real-world competitive quality AV1 encodes would be. Some examples from past codecs where faster encoder modes simplify impact decoder performance that can be turned off for encoder performance include:
  • Weighted prediction
  • In-loop deblocking or SAO
  • Number of reference frames
  • Number of B-frames
