Is UE5 ideal for a 7 days to die clone?

I use unity, HDRP specifically and it’s been great so far. Aiming to upgrade to 2021.2 and stick with 2021 LTS.

HDRP is in a much better state now compared to the awful 2019, and to a lesser extent, 2020.
There’s still some particularly problematic issues, which I’ve been vocal about and will hopefully be sorted.
but overall, it’s great and I don’t see myself using anything else.
Developers are also very active on the forums, and sometimes the discord server.
