In all honesty the amount of gameplay situations that require a character to jump from one location into a completely different one at the snap of a finger are limited, and even those can still likely be programmed to function on a very, very fast XSX NVMe.
People act like that's slow, but it's way, way, way faster than the standard 7200 rpm HDD that's been used in the past.
For stuff like "well what if you want to seamless move from scripted cutscene to gameplay seamlessly?" ... things like Final Fantasy VII REmake already do this just fine using a regular slow ass PS4 HDD.
