The real problem of blueprint CastTo

“Avoid casting in blueprint. Use interfaces”

Casting to a base class and even components are also viable options IMO.

Think this is a good read with more references to keep digging: Unreal Engine C++ Complete Guide - Tom Looman

even disconnected nodes, will count as a “hard reference / dependency” which will be loaded into memory

This is true!
