I use something similar, though I haven't found a difference in using larger patch-sizes for non-local means.

I'm aware of the options and saw the equalizer tutorial, I just felt I'm missing something since it doesn't behave the way I expect it to. Removing the highest frequency wavelets should remove high frequency noise, but I guess the equalizer doesn't actually down-weight the wavelets but does something more complicated. From the docs I thought that setting "edges" very low I could recover the naive wavelet
decomposition behavior, but that didn't seem to be the case.

I get very good results for "medium noise" (ISO 800 in a 5D mk II) using two copies of the profiled denoise module: - first: wavelets, strength 1.0, blend mode color 100%. This erases all traces of color noise (the more annoying for me), but introduces extra luma noise. - second: non-local means, patch size 4, strength 1.0, blend mode lightness 50%. I also found this module was very harsh on the details until I used this patch size and blend percentage combination. Using a before/after snapshot at 100% magnification I don't find any significant loss off detail, and just a little increase in image artifacts. For lower noise (ISO 100-200), I usually go only with the first copy (color noise).
Hope this is useful for you.

    I don't get great results with the de-noising modules. I can
    smooth over
    the noise with the wavelet denoising,
    but that also looses a lot of details.
