Not so much 'has to' but it's easier to manage, tbh. Like, IAs are adding a bunch of extra data you don't need.

I'd mix and match. Instanced Actors for things you're tracking that have altering states like Trees, Plants, Doors, etc.

Hit 9 years at Epic yesterday. What a ride it has been.. Thanks for being a part of it folks!

Windows 11 update formatted my machine without saying it would. Cool. Cool Cool Cool.

It'll never not be bizarre to me that Suicide Squad is one of the worst comic book movies, but The Suicide Squad is somehow one of the best. Shows you what good creative on a project can do.
