I use --vbr --bitrate 16 and it feels indistinguishable from the original for podcasts. As opusenc takes only wav for input and does not use multiple cores, I had to write scripts for parallel re-encoding of stuff.

I like to use Makefiles for parallel encoding.

    OPUSFLAGS = --vbr --bitrate 16
    all: $(patsubst %.wav,%.opus,$(wildcard *.wav))
    .PHONY: all
    %.opus: %.wav
        opusenc $(OPUSFLAGS) $< $@

Make -j4 or whatever. There are a few other ways to do this (e.g. xargs).
