What is this colour blocking/ banding i'm seeing and can it be corrected for?
This is most likely a compression issue from chroma subsampling and 8-bit log footage. Log footage does have very little contrast and saturation so that it does not clip. However, that means that your ...

use ffmpeg to convert interleaved raw yuv/pcm to compressed
