I transcode everything except sports for space and to make sure it is available to be on any device (used to have Rokus in the house, but now that I have moved to FireTV I just use leanfront).  You don't have to apply the job to each show, you can do it on the recording rule so it just does it anytime things are scheduled.  I also don't allow userjobs to run during primetime in the house - 5pm-11:59pm.

I tried getting your script to work and it reminded me why it's
dangerous to transcode in-place.  Luckily I was on a test backend and
didn't lose anything worth saving.
