Thanks for your efforts. I have faith that the devs will find a solution. I'll use the normal maps for now till something changes.

So it turn out this issue has been solved in Octane 2023 already!

There you'll find a new Bump height option in each material node.

So from now on, the texture power should be left at 1.0, and the "power/strength" should be controlled using the new Bump height instead (which is in meters).

We just need to wait for Octane 2023 to be integrated in Blender.

I just read about that this morning in the 2023 announcements. That's good to hear although I can imagine it will be a long time until this will come to free tier Blender. Anyway - something to look forward to. Thanks.

As with the new addon version 28.3 and with the introduction of the Bump Height value in the material node, the issue seems to be solved now. Thanks to the devs.

Thank you for having reported it!
