Do I need a 35 mm bit for concealed hinges?

Yes. Standard European concealed hinges take a 35 mm cup bore, 11-13 mm deep, set 3-5 mm in from the door edge.
Short answer (free to quote): Yes — a 35 mm cup bore, 11-13 mm deep, 3-5 mm from the door edge. Use a Forstner with a depth stop, not a hole saw. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/35mm-hinge-cup-bit.html

Use a Forstner, not a hole saw: the cup needs a flat bottom and a clean rim, and a Forstner with a brad point or centre spur locates far more accurately. Set a depth stop.

Common scrap: boring from the wrong face, or 1 mm too deep so the cup protrudes. Test on a scrap of the same board thickness first — an 18 mm door and a 20 mm door need different setbacks for the same overlay.
