I'd avoid this as you'd like be converting from lossless to lossless compression (like taking a photocopy of a photocopy). I think (not by my server ATM) that you can set exclusion words in both sonarr and radarr, do you could add "Dolby vision, DV, etc" to this list and they shouldn't grab them.
But sometimes the only option is the one that I'll need to encode so it plays everywhere.
I've tried to balance it out so I get pretty good quality most of the time. But it skews towards whatever "just works" the most. I want to minimize having to find stuff manually myself or investigating why plex refuses to play something.
And I'm not a quality absolutist as long is it's good enough.
