I think that the x264 and hevc codecs are much more battle tested and a 0day for them would be worth enough that nobody would bother using it on random torrenters.

But you don't need to use a popular codec, because all codecs are enabled by default.

Really? You think trackers download files and analyse their contents before listing them? I don't.
