Optimizing Handbrake transcoding

I'm going to make a vm or 2 for windows to use for Handbrake transcoding. I know that Handbrake isn't well optimized for use with more that 6 cores and with my dual xeon 2670's, I've got plenty of cores.  Since I'm going to be opening at least 2 instances of Handbrake per vm, I just don't know if running 2 instances across say 6 cores is more efficient than 4 across 12 cores. Would Handbrake be able to use everything better in the first or second case scenario?

As they are VMs personally I'd just test it for myself and see which number of cores is most efficient.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)
Upgrading Laptop/Desktop CNVIo WiFi 5 cards to PCIe WiFi6e/7
