No, honestly, it seems to be an issue which only manifests itself with
Premiere Pro. Why not ask there?

Furthermore, "Pro" implies "Professional", which means it was made
either by or for "professionals", i.e. people who earn their living
with this. To make things worse, you probably even paid for that
software, and it likely even advertises H.265 support. I think you
deserve to get an answer from them as to what their requirements are
towards an H.265 file.

Everything else is just guesswork or reverse engineering.

Welcome here anyway, if ffmpeg can help to work around Premiere Pro's
shortcomings. ;) (Not saying it couldn't be an ffmpeg issue. Let's
see.)
