Are you using the Resolve roundtrip preset? I prefer to manually export my AAF from Resolve once I have rendered my color corrected media. Also not you can’t make any editorial changes with this workflow, only color correction.
I right click sequence in Resolve, select: timeline/export/(AAF, XML, EDL) and proceed form there. DO NOT select “generate new AAF” in the workflow.

A more technical repsonse:

You can never compare longGOP to I frame when dealing with compressed formats. I Frame formats like DNxHD, ProRes take up more storage in exchange for better performance and generational loss. Codecs like H.264 are traditionally used for distribution and not for editing and are optimized for a balance between quality and low data rates. I Frame formats will always be larger.
That being said, why not just edit the H.264 directly? While not as optimized as I Frame codecs, systems have come a long way to make it make it manageable (some NLEs more than others…).
But if you want to maintain “similar” level of quality for finishing downstream, you should even consider DNxHD 115 as a minimum (or work native H.264 till the end).

I believe you need at least version 6.5 to insert AFD.

Although I’ve found “transcode in the background” to be a little hit and miss, wouldn’t that allow you to set off each bin’s clips as a transcode job?

You’re welcome!

If you want to email me an AAF of your sequence to michael[at]24p[dot]com, I will run it through my Producer’s Report service for you take a look at.

What do you mean by “chronological” as it can be several different things:
- Sequence order by track
- Sequence order regardless of track
- By source and TOD order
Once that is clear we might have some suggestions.

Not that I know of – it’s been brought up before and has probably been requested.

Not familiar with it, but may try the free trial to see how it works on some archival SD material I have.
