    Many of the vulkan presentations Kronos has given talk about this (especially the older ones), though they are also light on examples. Best specific example was the ID tech guys porting doom 3 to vulkan (I believe this may be the repo? https://github.com/DustinHLand/vkDOOM3) which they have given talks about

    People can look at what's involved in the various game engines that have source available, for example this seems to be the Doom3/vkDoom3 collision detection code (UE5 has a bunch if you search for "collision"), and it's not simple to handle it. That was before (2004) nvidia even started trying to do hair/fabric as bleeding edge tech demos (geforce 5 or 6 IIRC)

    I'm not a graphics programmer, but I've found these two resources to be illuminating: "How hard is Vulkan really? from GDC 2018", and id's comments in 2016 that Xbox does not use the same code paths as desktop D3D. The fellow giving the first presentation converted Doom 3 to Vulkan by himself as a starter project while on parental leave.
