Currently, Godot is pretty comfortable for doing 2D cutout animation , with several games in development making use of this feature. Of course, compared to dedicated software, this workflow has the huge advantage that nodes are fully accessible within the engine, allowing to mix them up with particles, shaders, other nodes (i.e.

  I have to admit it was frustrating to work with a machine that cannot handle much heavy calculations at once (my Macbook from 2011) from time to time, but on the other hand this forced me to get into optimizing the game very soon, what might become a good base for expanding the complexity in near future.

One of the most eagerly awaited 2D features has been batching of drawcalls, and it is something myself ( lawnjelly ) and Clay ( clayjohn ) have spent several weeks researching and coming up with a reasonable implementation, that should hopefully significantly increase performance in a lot of 2D games.
