I also like to render at 4:4:4 (though 1080p) for projects that are important to me. Strongly saturated edges and such are sharper with it and stuff like colored text on black backgrounds remain sharp. I don't know about 4K but in any case I would say, don't use NVENC. I haven't thoroughly tested the newer versions of it but in my experience it doesn't even come close to a good solid encode with x264 or x265. Those are infinitely slower of course but the quality is worth it imo.
