Optimizing cel-shaded shaders for 3D parodies in Blender

I’ve been looking into the workflow for creating high-frequency 3D parodies and I'm interested in the community's thoughts on asset optimization. When working with character models from various franchises—like moving between high-poly anime assets and stylized gaming models—what are the biggest hurdles you face in terms of shader consistency? Is it generally more efficient to rebuild materials from scratch in the Eevee engine to ensure a uniform visual style, or is there a reliable way to automate the conversion from older SFM libraries without losing that specific aesthetic? I’m curious to see how other creators are balancing render speeds with high-quality lighting effects
