Yeah UE5 is quite bad in general, bloated, slow and bad GNU/Linux support. Bad for almost everything not just WRC. What is even worse in WRC is the integration of anti-cheat spyware/rootkit. When they did this I just requested and got a refund. Back to DR2 and still enjoying it a lot.

You’re not finding any multiplayer game without some kind of kernel anticheat nowadays, not would you want to. If you think hacking is bad now, imagine how bad it’d be if memory edits were possible again and all the other methods that clientside protection does solve.
UE5 is the only choice for indie devs that want good graphics though.
Graphics are useless if the game sucks ass
I personally hate old games and care about graphics a lot. Idk how popular this preference is but UE just does work sometimes. After all it wouldn't be used if it wasn't good at what the devs cared about.
Which engine do other simulators use?
Their own engine mostly
DiRT titles before WRC used Codies custom Ego engine which is still being used in F1 titles.
EA is wrong for EA SPORTS WRC
