Don't want to speak for the OP, but that's typically the kind of quality I get directly out of Meshroom with no work other than throwing the pics in it and waiting ~ 4 hours (less if you have a fast, modern GPU)
"with no work other than throwing the pics in it and waiting ~ 4 hours (less if you have a fast, modern GPU)"
Personally I find taking the photos (~1000) is more work than actually waiting the software to complete the processing. Sure, the processing takes longer, but it's not as if you are turning the crank on the PC the whole time :)
Biggest job was sourcing the images. That took maybe two hours. Of course PC had to compute some hours, but I can do other things while that is going on so not really a time investment as such (do it over the night).
