I forgot to add that my main interest in asking is to work out the best technical approach to working with HDR footage in a 32-bit project (usually linear).  While I’m interested to know if there are benefits to basic motion graphics and normal HD video, I have often had a hunch that if you have beautiful HDR footage or renders and you want to work in 32-bit float, then sRGB is going to handicap the process somehow...
