Are you saying that KiCad will accept a merge request submission of a
3D model with only the STEP file, and with the STEP file being
referenced in the footprint instead of the VRML?

The example that I presented is merely a simplified form of the models
that get generated by the following code:
https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-packages3D-generator/-/tree/master/LED_SMD
(because the complex VRML generated by the above code is even less
comprehendable than the already complex VRML of a simple box).
I asked upstream to look into the orientation issue:
https://github.com/CadQuery/cadquery/issues/1158
while optimisation seems to be yet another problem that might need to
be addressed even higher in the chain (possibly in one of the CadQuery
dependencies).
