Everything sounds good except for the fact that you can get client packets in the middle of your state loop, which I think would inevitably create errors and bugs due to concurrent reading/writing on your data. What I propose is having actions and ...

You are in luck: game servers scalability is relatively straightforward nowadays and not that expensive. All major cloud providers today offer both fully-managed Kubernetes and serverless environments, all with auto-scaling so that you can only pay for what you need and use. The system will easily scale up and down, serving a hundred or a billion CCU ...
