The problem is, if I try to import any physx object which has used fracture groups, the editor crashes.

Is there anything I can do about this?

If you’re getting a crash it’s best to make a post on the AnswerHub. You can see more information in my signature for this.

I’m not aware of any fracture group issues, but then again, I’ve not really used it so I can’t say for certain. Make the AH post with steps to reproduce, include your call stack along with the Machine ID and Epic ID and I’ll assign myself once it’s in.

My plan is that when extended structures are enabled and a dm takes damage, it will limit the number of awake chunks

Whether the chunk is awake or sleeping it will still be a bottleneck for performance, thus why there is the limit of 2000 chunks per scene. When the fracture mesh is loaded it will load all the chunks and collision bodies, whether the chunk has broken free or not. You can use PXVIS Collision console command to view these collision hulls.
