I guess because you did it the opposite way, it didn't had the same impact, but when ShB trailer was revealed, it screamed "Light", "White Magic" and such.
However they admitted they were limited and wished to model much more different Sin eaters. With a certain varus going wild around the globe, I guess we'll have to expect the same for Endwalker.
Sometime they can be imaginative like Construct-8 being reused as the "Golem with a bucket on its head" in Malikha's well.
I dont believe reused assets is a big deal when it comes to mini-bosses as long as they introduce different mechanics or a new way to interpret them. The recent Matoya's relic first miniboss shares its model with the first Sirensong Sea miniboss. But when it comes to weapon model used 3 times within the same expansion, I share the disappointment. -

Tons and tons. More than you might think, really. One of the most recurring ones I see is the Diresaur/Giruveganaus model--aside from being used as a boss in Stone Vigil Hard and mobs in the Churning Mists, among other places, the skeleton is also used as the less spikey dinosaur-like boss from Sohm Al Hard; I think it's called the Gowrow, and is also used as a SB S-rank hunt and the second fight in DR. Not only that, the skeleton and animations are also shared with the manticore mobs, such as the Garlok S-rank, the boss from Halatali Hard, and the sin eater variant encountered in Mt. Gulg; and the skeleton is used for Byblos and Apanda from Gubal Library.
I'm also pretty sure the second set of stone statue adds from E12N share their model with the Glasya Labolas from Syrcus Tower. That model is somewhat uncommon though.
But there are so many reused and repurposed models and skeletons in the game. -

I'm okay with them reusing some lesser known bosses. One that comes to mind is Penthisilea from Eureka and Scathach from Dun Scaith.
I'd actually love a figure of Penny. I just loved her design. I'd kill for those boots SE. Make it happen!
