Ok, I didn't read all that but that is 100W of power. My solution to be able to work on a 5W Raspberry 4 is to use C (arrays for cache misses), compile with GCC to a .so and hot-deploy that into my engine. That way I have a zero dependencies engine (only stb_ttf and kuba_zip) that compiles from scratch in 30 seconds and the game .so takes ~1 second. I don't even have to use a build system or many cores to compile. Simple and low power. Downvotes without commenting, proves my point.
