I have enough disk space where caches are stored.
It's not the space but rather the speed of the disks I'm suggesting as the problem.
If you have 2x2 playing smoothly then your disks can apparently handle that.
But 4x4 requires 4x more disk speed (throughput or bandwidth) than 2x2.
You can use, say, Black Magic Disk Speed Test to check the speed of your drives.
Here's what it looks like for my system disk on my 16" MBP M1:

As far as AAC goes, are you asking this because you want to make proxies, or for the eventual export? If it's for proxies, you shouldn't need to worry about sound bit depth because you'll make your final video from the original sources.
