A quick test of the above with -nosound -ofps 50 and mcdeint=1
seems to work, but I don't know yet whether I actually will be
able to mux with the audio changed to that speed with sox eg.,
let alone whether the result would be playable.

Could you elaborate, perhaps even with an example, on "proper
deinterlacing"?

At the moment I use the command (with mcdeint=1 of course) above
all as intermediate step before converting eg. to mp4. The
viewing experience of the deinterlacing result of
yadif=3,mcdeint=1:1:10,softskip,harddup
has been the best/smoothest compared to other methods I tried on
my source material -- pp=lb | pp=fd | yadif=0 | yuvfps of
mjpegtools (not bad though).

But I'm always interested in better ways to do this.
