So what does this mean for potential recounts? Would they still mean anything, or is it pretty much known at this point?

Going off of what's happened historically it's a done deal by this point.
Georgia is going to recount since it is so close. I support that. Neither Trump nor Biden requested it, it was the state official who announced a recount.
It is. For what it's worth, Georgia hasn't been called, so the outcome of the recount will not change the headline call.
Recounts in the past have had a difference in the hundreds. Biden is leading in most places by thousands, sometimes tens of thousands.
The article contains projections made by news outlets based on publicly available vote data. Based on those data, Biden has won.

The lawsuits and potential recounts are a separate process which are unaffected by the projections made by media outlets.

That said, it looks like the Trump campaign would have to flip three states to win, which seems unlikely.
