They do what they call as "per-title encode optimisation". Their techblog is very informative.I agree. The blog certainly make for some very interesting reading even if a bunch of the geek speak goes straight over my head.
With HEVC encoded UltraHD Netflix I believe there is an intermittent resolution used as well between 1080p and 2160p - that being 2560×1440p aka 2.5K
Netflix Adaptive streaming and 2.5K HDR
