I made a patch to ENCODERS_PRORES_GUI.bat in DoVi_Scripts to use DGIndexNV instead of FFMS2 when an NVIDIA GPU is detected and saw accurate results, but then I wondered if indexing is really needed if no other transforms are needed on the video.
Yes, encoding to prores without indexing is probably fine(at least in the tests I did) and it is faster, indeed but I still prefer indexing for peace of mind.
In the non-gui version of dovi_scripts(latest beta only), you can disable indexing for the prores encoding workflow 8-2-3
line 251
::choose if you want to index your input before the prores encoding in 3-1 and 8-2-3 default=NO
set disable_indexing=NO

Sounds good, thanks. I'll check it out. I might want to keep indexing, too. I'll waste a lot of time worrying and doing quality control to ensure the decoding is accurate without indexing.

Per the discussion thread on your repo, using ffmpeg -hwaccel cuda won't work with AviSynth input, but the second-fastest option would still be to use DGIndexNV.

So you can get the benefits of both indexing and HW acceleration.

I'm happy to share my changes to ENCODERS_PRORES_GUI.bat and/or could help add support for it to CLI versions of DoVi_Scripts if you'd like the help.

ther's an app called kdenlive, which handles hevc in mkv pretty well and has this:

Is it possible to utilize it for cm_analyzer?
