You don't need a full final game, just a few components that you can spam hundreds of copies of in a test scene to measure how well the performance scales. That would let you spot if there's a massive performance cliff at a low level of scene complexity, which could be a deal-breaker, or if you've likely got performance headroom to spare, making the approach viable. | |

The question comes down to, what are the effects/drawbacks of an ECS system without ECS-style memory layout and are they generally prohibitive? Someone with a deeper knowledge of unreal and ECS I would listen to more so than myself at this early stage of development. | |

I don't recommend basing your technology decisions on an opinion poll of Internet strangers. Some rando could log on here and say this is the best idea ever, or the worst of all time, and neither of those would change the real evidence that you have access to: your profiling results, and your personal experience of how well you enjoy developing in this system. | |
