Fury Road gave a glimmer of hope of limiting the use of CGI. It gave me happy feet to watch it.

Fury Road makes pretty extensive use of CGI and digital compositing.

But it looks great so you don't really notice it.
Fury Road also makes extensive use of insane level practical stunts that other features would have gone 100% GGI. There's a difference in enhancing with CGI vs entirely in CGI. The stunt peeps on the motorcyles, the insane pendulum thingymabobbers, the cars themselves, etc are all real and very noticeably better looking than CGI
Fury Road used a ton of CGI. So much that without it, the movie wouldn't have been very good.
