Note that players should simply ignore the soft-telecine assuming
you are not using an old american tv set.

The ntsc framerate is 30000/1001, if you divide this by the usual
telecine rate, you get 24000/1001. FFmpeg's console output will
tell you if it had to drop or duplicate frames. If - except maybe for
the absolute start of the video to correct different audio and video
start times - no frames are dropped or duplicated, the output frame
rate is correct.
