im not very versed in game engine design, but dont they dynamically stream them into memory before they will be needed, and discard them when they wont nowadays?
Dynamic streaming is common nowadays, as games have gotten large enough that not everything in a level can fit into memory.
I don't know about what is actually done in industry but I feel like most of the time you wouldn't bother with keeping dead instances unless instancing is shown to actually be a performance problem, which will probably not happen all that often
Godot for example doesn't have built in dynamic level streaming yet or a built in way to cycle through dead instances as far as I can tell, although I'm sure that wouldn't be hard to do with code
