Ok here's the best I could manage!
I've applied the maxrate a little below my desired bitrate (37500 maxrate to 40000 bitrate) and allowed the bufsize to be 30000. I also set the level to 5.1 which is most desirable to trying to get an UHD file to 40mbps.
The file sits at an average bitrate of 33mbps and it's highest bitrate was 42mbps. It's gotten me through the delivery at least. I hope that others can find this helpful too.
