I didn’t read that as procgen so much as codegen. With the right team, it’s pretty easy to set up. Tarn Adams has been doing it solo for almost two decades. However, you are very right about how shallow and bland it can be at scale. TES II Daggerfall is one of the best examples of vast reach with procgen that gets real stale after the 100th dungeon that looks damn near the same.
Pretty easy to do, just takes 2 decades. ;). https://www.markrjohnsongames.com/games/ultima-ratio-regum/ Ultima Ratio Regum is a similar project also taking a decade of work now.
