Using Unity only for the editor?

Regarding life link

Unity Live Link (Experimental)
With the new Unity Live Link you can make changes in the Editor and see the changes reflected on any connected devices running the standalone player. Where you previously had to create an executable, build all the assets, build all your scripts and then upload them to the device each time you wanted to test, you can now test in real-time.

Since iteration speeds are key to the process of creating game worlds, and then tweaking and polishing the user experience, interacting with your game on the actual target device in real-time can make all the difference. Unity Live Link provides on-device performance feedback, enabling you to explore the performance consequences of different choices directly on the device and find the right balance between details and performance.

After you create a Live Link Build, the next time you make changes you can just save your Scene and Unity will bundle your updates and send them to the Live Link Player.

Install the Entities package (Preview) from the Package Manager to try out Unity Live Link.

Game Object Conversion article rewritten

I had one old article when conversion workflow was just released back before preview.33 when proxies and GameObjectEntity were more popular. It got unusually higher view count than others in the analytics so I think there are demands for tutorial about this. But it is very outdated now. I have just finished writing it again into this new one : https://gametorrahod.com/game-object-conversion-and-subscene/ It's really big, it says 40 min read but there are so many prerequisites to explain bef…

In the article, need scroll down, toward the end.

At current state, it is not as easy to setup, but it is functional.
However, I wouldn’t recommend it for a production.
