there can't be for now, because artists couldn't realistically do this. I've been working with artists for, what, close to ten years now and I can guarantee you that their use of the software permanently fills the performance increase that such software gives. That's like saying, why would a music sequencer need to support more than, say, 100000 tracks, which sounds ridiculous until you see someone actually coming up with a fun music score that leverages generative scripting to create very cool pieces
The performance increase is eaten by scene complexity.
This is and has been the norm since the advent if CGI in blockbuster movies, in the 1970's.
For every order of magnitude that hardware gets faster (and/or software gets 'better', i.e. using better parallelization etc.), image complexity in your average shot increases by an order of magnitude.
So yes, what artists are doing is more complex but relatively so. I.e. it doesn't invalidate anything I and others wrote about the case in point – the Moana asset, how such assets are built and what part of a VFX pipeline reasonably ingests them.
