Texture channel packing is your other useful trick if you've not touched it yet.
The current Unreal trick is virtual texturing, which cuts up all textures into 128 x 128 chunks and streams them in only at desired scale- so at a sharp angle say only the close bit is actually loaded at full res. I dont think thats in Godot yet however.
