I use a Mac Pro 5,1 for that, although the same Avidemux program is available on the PC too, but I can have 2 machines going at the same time and hence able to process and upscale multiple SD movies. Suffice to say once you had deblock/denoise the SD footage or upscaled to 200% over its original size, I use Avidemux and simply upscale it further to 2K or 4K using Bicubic.

For my Nvidia card, upscaling from 480p to 960p takes about 0.63sec/frame with my GTX 1650 card, but 0.11sec/frame with a decent RTX card, like the RTX2060. However, another workflow that can speed things up and not loose a lot of upscale quality is to first use Artemis LQ on SD footage with 100% deblock/denoise with the MPEG output or I found 200% to be just as good. I also have the Topaz AI still products and I also found that the PC with Nvidia runs FASTER than on my Mac Pro 5,1 with RX580, even though my GTX Nvidia card is 15% slower than the RX580 and has half the VRAM. It's faster with an Nvidia card, especially the RTX series as it was meant to be designed for AI and Nvidia. I actually use a fast PC gaming rig to run Topaz Video enhancement AI software with. But maybe its time to drop that software too. I had wanted to stay within 10.14 because I have CS6 photoshop. It sounds like I might have to go Opencore to do my videos. I have so far avoided Opencore, and getting a faster card than the RX 580. What do you recommend? I could also run the card in windows. I haven't tried the single pic method yet. With a RX580 GPU in the 5,1, I reckon that would take 18 hours, as it seems the 560 Pro GPU is about half the power.

So using that method, a 40 minute video would take. For the 8 minute video, it estimated 7 hours. I am trying it first on my MacBook Pro which is a few years old and has a 4GB 560Pro GPU. It also said its faster to output as stills and then reassemble in quicktime.

I loaded the 8 minute (ex iMovie which I used to cut the movie down to 8 minutes) video and selected 4k output, with the input being Artemis Low Quality, which the help guide said was the best for such a video. I downloaded the 30 day trial of 5.3.1 (I think) of the Topaz Video enhancement AI software. I have run a test with a 8 minute tape sourced from Hi8 via Elgato. Here's the site for Topaz Video Enhance AI. I have that software and a dedicated gaming PC computer with an Nvidia GPU to do all that and have been restoring movies to the current digital standard with amazing success.

Then you can watch it on your 4K or 1080p as though those tapes were shot with a 4k/1080p. But if you invest in a decently good external eGPU like a Radeon 5700XT, it can cut it down to just 1 to 2 days per 1hr movie. If not, it can take a couple of days or even a week to upscale a 1hr 8mm tape into 4K. The software itself is going to cost you about $200 and since you have a Macbook Pro 2020 and hopefully comes with an AMD dGPU that can help with the AI process. Unfortunately, it is not going to be cheap. However, did I say you need a 2nd software? In order to upscale those footages into a more modern quality digital version, you need something like the Topaz Video Enhance AI which uses Artificial Intelligence to upscale low quality 8mm tapes into high quality 1080p and up to 8K using AI.

So the quality of both captures are going to be very low if you are comparing to the current standard, which is 1080p or 4K. Sometimes de-interlacing can reduce the capture all the way down to 320x240 resolution. The resolution of the capture is going to be very low roughly 480p, which is like 720x480. Now, once your footage is captured into digital form, they are still interlaced unless you de-interlace them and turn them into progressive, which is the ideal form of digital capture. I use a Diamond Touch video capture which is almost the same thing. One's already mentioned which is the Elgato video capture.
