The rocks absolutely have the stretching around sharp corners, but as long as your texture is good, it’s often not very noticeable. We use a “ProjectionTransitionContrast” of 10, but different values can help for different textures. The rocks in our project also have tessellation just for smoothing when you get up close, which further helps to reduce the edge issues. Of course, every now and then you’ll run into a spot that’s just plain fugly, in which case I usually hide it with another rock. Luckily for our art style we can get away with smoother rocks. If you’re going to do sharper rocks, I would highly suggest giving each rock it’s own normal map to at least blend with the world space normals to make things look a bit more intentional.

Yes, I couldn’t stand those FUGLY stretching on my rock corners, so I went ahead and made good, straight UV’s for my rocks and seamlessly tiled my texture on them. No more stretching :))

Also, nice update on your work. Is the rocky canyon sculpted from the landscape or are they modular rocks put together seamlessly (how?) to form the canyon for the player to move in? Also that reddish illumination you’re getting in your rocks’ shadows makes them look good, are you using colored GI post processing?
