Hmm, add either global option below:

(a). -bits_per_raw_sample 10 and the encoder will pick both the profile and
the appropriate pixel format for 10-bit encoding, or
(b): -bits_per_raw_sample 8 and the encoder will pick both the profile and
the appropriate pixel format for 8-bit encoding.

Can you show us the output of ffmpeg -h encoder=libx265 ?

According to https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#libx265 you can also set
profile restrictions via -profile:v , mapped in the encoder:
