Netflix doesn't provide HEVC. It uses an external software decoder (H.264). Pi3 can play 720p without overclock. 1080p is too much for that decoder.
I've had no trouble with 1080p 8-bit HEVC on a Pi3 with no overclock.
Overclocking can help with 10-bit content.
It can help with high bitrate stuff (although I've only found test files that require this - normal encodes aren't generally high enough bitrate to cause an issue).
