The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Lightmapper looks pretty nice: Of course, GIProbe still has the advantages of being real-time, easier to set up (no unwrap or bake), supports rough refletions (which look great), and light affects dynamic objects more accurately.

Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. SDFGI is mostly leak free, unlike VCT techniques which are the most common in use today (like SVOGI/GIProbe/etc). As long as walls are thicker than a voxel for a given cascade, light won't go through. How do you use it?
