However, as DV is quite old school, I fancy making the files a lot smaller using the newer h.264 codec at around 3 - 5mbps,

Why? Storage is cheap!  Archive the files as DV, which means you are losing nothing. You can always follow Job's advice and upres later. 

I have been shocked at how decent some early and ugly 8mm Sony video looked when digitized to DV using a Digital-8 player and then de-interlaced and up-rezzed and graded and noise-reduced in Resolve studio. 

A painfully long (unedited) example can be found here.  
Tech notes there too.
