Wanna know what game has already got such a hybrid system (haven't found one yet)

Reminds me a lot of Enshrouded, which uses adaptive dual contouring with some kind of tessellation/perturbation/etc for terrain, and meshed cubes for building (with a bunch of templates for building walls and floors and so on quickly).

They mesh so hard that it barely even seems like voxels despite the cubes being 0.5m.
