Hobbyists have already made their own implementation of Nanite. It's not that complicated.

It has been over a year since the algorithm has been explained in quite a bit of detail.

Hobbyists make complicated things quite regularly, although I don't know about 10x quake.

10x a quake for modern hardware, maybe (could be quite simple)

10x software rendered dos quake with loads of asm, probably not.

In that sense, neither is the quake engine.
