WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Pretty decent support for mono and C# in Godot 3.x. It’s not perfect, but most things are well supported. There is a proposal to move everything to .NET 6, but it has been delayed until after the big Godot 4.0 release (4.1 next year at the earliest.)

A big challenge is that the current architecture requires a custom build of the engine that builds the whole executable as a .NET app that just happens to execute all the C++ engine code rather than a regular executable that integrates other languages as a plug-in. In theory, this is fine, and maybe ideal for modern .NET, but I don’t think there is much institutional support within the project for making special exceptions for C#. I believe they also no longer have the source of external funding (maybe MS?) that funded the original mono integration.
So, from my perspective, C# development has languished and might not make the leap to Godot 4. It appears to suffer from a chicken/egg problem where a majority of current users simply prefer GDScript. I think it would be a loss to drop C#, however, as I’m sure there are developers out there (myself included) who would prefer a modern .NET integration over mono and are holding out to see what the future holds.
No, but like in every other programming language you can implement something like that yourself either by 1) nesting arrays (columns) within an array (rows) and access items them by map[x][y] or by using a single array and transform x and y into an index like y*width+x.
I always take the second approach and wrap it in a class [1].
