Unity can handle huge open-world RPGs

Hello! My wife and I have been working on our RPG for 4 years.

It’s an open-world game with a 20-square-kilometer map in a single, seamless scene. For comparison, it’s larger than The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and about half the size of Skyrim.

We’ve created a huge amount of content and a dynamic world, where even there are NPC's traveling and trading across the entire map.

I’ve occasionally heard people say that Unity isn’t suited for large-scale games, but I believe they’re mistaken.

For large games, you'll need to put in an insane amount of hours and effort, and there will be many challenges to overcome, but the engine won’t be one of them. That is my opinion.
When used properly, Unity can handle just about anything. We’ve built this entire world with zero performance issues.

I’m starting this thread so people can ask questions. Is there anything you’d like to know from a technical perspective? If you're working on a large-scale game, is there something you're struggling with?

Is 5000 verts per model too much for an RTS game?

I've been making some armored vehicle models for a hobby RTS project but even after trying to trim as many details as possible and using lower face counts I can't get them much lower than 5k. Since the game will likely have many of these models on a given map, does this seem way too much? It feels like too much, but I have no experience optimising for 3D as I'm usually a 2D fella.
