Instancing is used to render similar objects (mesh, material and misc settings), reducing the pressure over the rendering API. Numbers are using debug (numbers on release are lower, but when I started optimizing, Godot had problems running on release, so it's difficult to compare). Optimized texture formats.

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. What can it do? It's enabled and it automatically works by generating global illumination for static objects.

Export options (convert textures, etc.) Automatic detection and reimport of many use cases for textures. If you care about using meshes separately, it is also possible to tell Godot to save them as files. Reimports will overwrite those meshes, though. Godot import/export code was most likely simplified tenfold.
