Currently my goal is to provide a wide gamut workflow with LRTimelapse. You can still convert down to sRGB at the very end, when exporting your final Video from your video program. This way, you have all options.
If I'd create the intermediary files in sRGB, you'd never be able to go back to a wider color gamut later.
I'm not sure what exactly is happening on your system, but my experience is, that the current workflow gives the most accurate colors possible. I see no significant difference between Lightroom and the final video even for difficult sequences.
I've already given you a couple of hints what you could check. I've too suggested to go back to 4.7.1 to repeat the whole workflow with the older, srgb workflow and see, if this really gives you better rendition on your system, but obviously you didn't try.
It's very hard to help you because color management is a very complex topic, where you can do a lot wrong since every single component in the whole chain is involved, from the individual programs used (incl. video player), Lightroom settings, OS Color profiles used and Monitor settings. And yet apart from yours, I've only had positive feedback about the new color accuracy with the wide gamut workflow.
On a side note why I don't offer the choice between sRGB and AdobeRGB in LRTExport: the intermediary files should be in the best quality and color range possible to leave all options open for later being able to choose the render settings with all flexibility.
