You also need to expose to the right and keep it 16 bit, if there are 1000 levels in the first stop (highlights) then there’s only 25 in the last (shadows) so as soon as you start pulling the file around you bet noise and banding.
Those values are just as an example but the tonal separation will diminish as you move through the histogram to the shadows.
