As someone who's worked quite a bit with both, no. I have hopes for Godot but in terms of actually shipping commercially-viable games, it's not even in the same league as Unity. This comes from many things, but some of the big ones are:

* Ability to do first-party console ports

* 3D rendering fidelity and speed

* Asset store quality & quantity

* Robustness & stability - they both have tons of bugs but with Unity there is almost always a way around the bug, due to the decades of commercial games that paved the path before you.

For one quick example, Godot's physics engine is well-known to be poor, both in terms of performance and in terms of accuracy/stability. It has tons of bugs, tunneling, jittering, etc. Both the 2D and 3D physics engines in Godot are currently slated to be ripped out & replaced with external ones of higher quality (Box2D and Jolt). But currently, that hasn't happened, so one of the foundational parts of most games - physics - is guaranteed to be broken to some degree in a Godot game.

But Jolt is pretty much a drop-in replacement right now, no?

For a hack, sure. For something you're doing seriously, not so much.

Replacing the 3d engine with Jolt is on the official roadmap. If it were really a drop in replacement today, that would have already shipped.
