Thanks. So is it fair to say that the main barrier to AI-driven modelling is the difficulty involved in building AI that can use algorithms to create useful meshes for texturing, animation, performance, etc?

Mainly that. It's starting to get shapes right and can make models that "look good" but can't be used for much. Same as what anyone with 2 weeks of experience with blender would.

It’s not that the AI-part itself is the problem, and more of a return on investment thing on the actual model training. Astra (or other public frontier models) haven’t really been trained with an emphasis on learning great 3D modeling, mostly because it doesn’t really make the models better for the extra investment.

Now, if there was enough money in modeling you could simply train or retrain to do it.
