Try using combmatch=full for fieldmatch

In this zip file is a sample test video "cadence.mp4". It has 23.976p
content, 29.97i (59.94 fields/sec interlaced) content, and 29.97p content,
all in a 29.97i stream. (There are many others cadences, but those are the 3
most common)

In this example for -vf select after fieldmatch, the 2 branches are
"progressive" and "not progressive". You can experiment with split and
various processing with interleave in the filter chain

progressive frames after fieldmatch
ffmpeg -i cadence.mp4 -filter_complex "fieldmatch=combmatch=full,
select='eq(interlace_type\,PROGRESSIVE)'" -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -an
fieldmatch_combmatchfull_prog.mkv

not progressive frames after fieldmatch
ffmpeg -i cadence.mp4 -filter_complex "fieldmatch=combmatch=full,
select='not(eq(interlace_type\,PROGRESSIVE))'" -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -an
fieldmatch_combmatchfull_notprog.mkv -y
