First of all, most of the new features still have significant bugs and performance problems that will not be solved in time for the upcoming 4.0 Mesh streaming : Models are loaded as low detail (few vertices). Is solving these problems enough for Godot to become a top AA / AAA game engine? The answer is “it depends”.
