Not sure what works best in your case. I’m a Debian cat myself but I have been considering openbsd as a future option.

Torrenting is one thing but I wouldn’t be trusting a VPN to protect from anything to attract the heat of the law or government.
I’d try each application one by one. Maybe write a script to monitor load and stop the program if it goes past your desired threshold and notify you.
It could also be a setting in some app like photoprism or immich … I think one of them uses tensorflow to classify images. That would increase the load if thats running in the background.
Maybe try them with an empty directory so there is no data to process and see if you encounter the error. Then add some data and see how the load is.
I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.
I usually opt for 720p for movies and SD for shows. They’re good enough for me and I can store way more. The other thing is the devices and screens are dated now so at some point in the future I’ll probably want to get it all again at better quality but for now it does the job.
