As I said , I shoot HD (1920x1080). I edit and grade in an HD Timeline. Before rendering I change the Timeline resolution to UHD (3840x2160) and render that at a bit rate of at least 80Mbs to my PC, which I then upload to YT.
Because YT re-encodes everything, one of the main benefits of doing this is that more bandwidth is given to UHD footage alleviating some of the artifacts, such as blocking, that you get with HD. You are not adding any detail to the original image by doing this, just helping it to replay better on YT.
As an example, this is my channel trailer all shot and edited in HD then upscaled to UHD.
