The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Just don't reuse a mesh and instance it in different scales.

Multiple editing of imported files is possible, so settings for several files can be changed at once by selecting them on the filesystem dock. 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. This is more akin to how Unity works.
