I've ran around the game with just this installed and it is most definitely an improvement, imo. So the real compare here is whether or not the processing improves the textures over the vanilla like/feel. These aren't that big a deal because they'll be overwritten 90% of the time by users. They also reintroduce bugs in the plants where entire branches and parts of the plants are black due to the painted shadowing.
It's very obvious that this objects no longer match the SE lighting as they are very dark in-game. I believe this was done due to SE's new lighting/shaders. The plants and grass were edited further in SE to remove "painted shadowing" from them. Doing this wasn't without it's unforeen issues. Some of the ESRGAN process was to remove BC1 compression artifacts and then to upscale them. There is more to it than that, but that's it "in a nutshell". Therefore, this mod went back to the original LE textures, processed them through ESRGAN, and that's about it. The majority of their upscales are a blurry mess. However, they did a piss poor job when doing so. When they made SE they generally upscaled a good portion of the textures. It's goal is to clean up the textures for SE.
