Remuxing alone is, practically speaking, direct playing since nothing is being re-encoded. But if something is bottlenecking your system, whether that is disk throughput, maybe it would cause that stuttering/dropped frame issue. Is the directory transcodes written to a SSD or HDD?
MKVs on their own will only cause re-muxing. What codecs are in the MKVs will determine whether transcoding happens. Audio channels I don't think cause transcoding. Most clients will just downmix the channels to whatever is available. I believe web browsers will require audio transcodes for 7.1 since they support 5.1 max.
