Do I get this right the idea is to rencode each scene until all hit at least some quality level defined by calculating the VMAF score after each encode?
I agree that chunked encoding can make sense to encode faster if the encoder isn't well parallized.
But reencoding xy times to hit a specific target VMAF does not sound like a good idea, instead the encoder you want to use should use VMAF as quality measurement base.
-> I'm not going to implement this in Hybrid, but hey simply use Av1an if you think this is a good idea. Also you might want to suggest using VMAF to the authors of the encoders.

Ps.: If it's just about the speed, Hybrid also has an *experimental* support for chunked encoding (Config->Internals->Chunked encoding)
