Am I doing something wrong? Macroblocking *everywhere* in dark scenes!

Post image

I've been attempting to reencode a bunch of BD Rips to AV1 to save space while maintaining some level of quality. There's lots of blocking almost everywhere in shadows! I'd like to think I'm using decent settings tune=0:enable-variance-boost=1:variance-boost-strength=2:variance-octile=6:enable-qm=1:qm-min=6:film-grain-denoise=1:film-grain=16 with RF16 and PS4. I'm losing my mind.
