Yeah, I remember reading years ago a paper explaining the same for H.264 and why 10-bit encoding matters (even for 8-bit content). It was fascinating reason, btw. AFAIK, there is also less banding issues even in 8-bit content, and the filesize is generally smaller too. The biggest reason against its usage is more computational power, though.
