Glad you have enough info to proceed at your own pace. At the risk of straying a little off-topic, I'll make a couple more very brief suggestions, do with them what you will!

Of course, it makes sense to store the original in as high a quality as your budget allows. I would say that; I do the same! However what I would say is: - it might be possible to achieve a significant file size saving after a 'perceptually lossless' transcode. I have a relatively old GoPro and seem to recall saving a decent amount when I transcoded, though I suspect newer generations of GoPro may be better. More file size reductions translate nicely to cost savings- storage costs are non-trivial, especially if you have redundant backups -- you have redundant backups, right? (that phrase is a reflex!) May be worth investigating for the master copy. - your end users probably don't need to watch the original master copy. Grandma may have a surprisingly high throughput pipe, but it might be nice if you had a version which you could (say) call up on your phone over cellular data while vacationing your friends way out in the boonies. Good luck with your project!
