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
