They both are ready. No hardware acceleration yet in most devices, but non-ancient hardware is capable of software decoding.

I heard H.265 offers a bit better quality with same bitrate, but I like >muh freedums.
As a bonus, all browsers are capable of playing WebM videos, and the WebM container only supports VP9 and VP8, but that's probably irrelevant for home videos.

This would be nice for Plex servers. Probably go with VP9. Does anyone have suggestions on quality? At what point do you notice artifacting and quality loss?

If you're talking PC, everything can play H265 I'm already moving my entire library over to it (Enjoy that encoding speed though).

Just don't expect a phone or tablet to play it.

use crf 22 and it should be good mix of quality/file size

Ask yourself, I don't know. For re-encoding, a CRF of 10 doesn't have any impact on quality as far as I can tell. It's very subjective, though, on some videos I couldn't tell any difference between CRF's of 10 and 26.

Some mobile devices have strong CPUs to do software decoding. It might lag, though.

Your man concern is probably going to be speed. High quality NVENC profile is good if you have an Nvidia card made in the last few years.
