Even with Unreal having decent networking code, it's still a nightmare to get replication going on a massive scale. The game becomes less "can you do it" and more "can you do it without melting your server's bandwidth down, while still making sure low ping players have roughly the same experience as high ping players."

Where things get interesting is mid sized servers, like you see in Ark or whatever. That kind of micro MMO is actually easier now, since it minimizes those two issues (you're more able to shrug and say "too bad about the ping this is just a regional server sorry") and in so doing, unshackles you quite a bit design-wise.
