The Deception of “Buying” Digital Movies
I use this project by Don Melton to get a Blu-ray video down to an 8 - 10 GB file size: https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding
It uses HandBrake, FFmpeg, MKVToolNix, and MP4v2 with some custom tuned settings and has really good results from my experience.

What Are Your Most Used Self Hosted Applications?
I have primarily used Plex and pretty much everything you said is accurate for Plex as well. Limited transcoding based on the machine it is running on. As disc has become cheaper, I have pretty much stopped doing batch transcodes, which is great for the most part. But there are definitely negatives when you want to watch something offline, or remotely. Biggest pain point is subtitles though. Since they aren't ripped as text and then sent to a client, they have to be burned in to the video itself and transcoded on the fly. Which means losing out on 'forced' ones if it can't transcode fast enough.
Plex has definitely started to try and commercialize itself more and offer other stuff, when all I want is access to my own media. So I may look into Jellyfin more soon.
As for batch transcode jobs, I had a system that I was able to set up as essentially a black box. Drop a rip into a folder and out the other side comes a smaller one at a reasonable quality. With forced subs burned right into the actual video. Mostly based on https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding

BluRay Movie File Size Question
I use Don Melton’s tools to transcode videos to mp4 files. His tools makes use of Handbrake but he has it tuned to produce very small video files of very high quality. You are unlikely to notice the difference when watching the videos.

Hit my goal. 100 movies in one year. Done the “old fashioned” way (rip—>encode). Made it with two days to spare. (Plex server built Sept 29, 2020)
Checkout https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding. In my experience produces higher quality and smaller files than handbrake alone.

HandBrake 1.7.0 – The open source video transcoder
I don't think so unfortunately:
https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues/191#issuecomme...
The release itself[0] would have been a better link.
0. https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases/tag/1.7.0
Yeah I am not sure what the difficulty is tbh, but I know nothing about codecs and media encoding.
The FR issue is here, by the way:

Thanks for the suggestion on Staxrip, I've given it a download!
