Yep, good tools was the minimum a decade ago, these days you also need an asset store. I suspect the next decade you will need to have integrated AI tools.

The only opensource game engine that looks interesting is Godot, they are working hard on making their tools better and growing their asset store.

"Integrated", imho, is exactly how large engines will win. Modularity is a huge challenge (ABI, Data Pipeline, where compute happens), but without modularity, only engines with teams of hundreds will be serious contestants.
