Getting a modern version of ffmpeg would actually be the 2nd thing.
1st thing would be to convince hip hot Hollywood to upgrade their Avid systems.
MacOS Mojave running Avid 2018 is a surprisingly stubborn industry standard.  I'd gladly upgrade, but it's not up to me.

To be fair, I can test and dev on latest version ffmpeg on my Mac, but ultimately this needs to work the ancient machines at work.

Currently we're doing surprising well -- doing lots of transcodes, text overlays, slates, and time code burns on ffmpeg 3.1.11
Any chance I can get channel mapping and mixdowns to work as well?

c!
