This is a similar problem as automatic LOD computation for 3D game assets though, and that has been done for a long time without ML (but maybe ML may actually help there too, no idea).

I still find the 'human touch' argument a bit unconvincing for this type of problem.

ML is absolutely being used in automatic LoD computation for far better results, as well as in other geometry transformations (with Unreal Engine introducing the generic "ML Deformer", for example).
