Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Here is an example using the older 3D platformer demo: VR support.

How to Use Unity Cinemachine Virtual Cameras

Yes, Cinemachine is a plug-in for Unity, but what makes this plug-in great for this platform is the fact there are many other plug-ins to choose from that can work seamlessly with Cinemachine. As of yet, there is no distributed baking. This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. The new NavigationServer supports fully dynamic environments and on-the-fly navigation mesh baking. It may be possible to edit your project file manually, but otherwise it's recommended to let Godot generate a new one.
