Aren’t the sub streams intended to use lesser bandwidth though?

If anything the bandwidth, network utilization, will go up a bit since you may have to actually enable and "broadcast" the sub stream along with the main stream. What it does do is reduce the bandwidth through the processor, less video to process in the sub stream, and drop CPU utilization significantly.
What if the end user is recording 24/7 on Blue Iris and doesn't have any other piece hardware to process the the main stream video? Wouldn't CPU utilization go up significantly? In this case, would it be ideal to disable the sub stream then?

The CPU doesn't process the raw video other than encoding it into .bvr. That is a very low overhead operation. If you're using sub streams and HA, try shutting off HA and see how little the CPU utilization goes up.
CPU utilization will go up significantly without substreams.
Hardware acceleration is separate and the end user can still watch video without a graphics card or intel quicksync.
My computer cannot use HA with H265, but I can watch H265 just fine, just cannot use Hardware Acceleration with H265...
