There was a proposal to divide the open world maps into threaded areas with overlapping edges.
Having an object in an overlapping area would result in thread locking for both neighbouring area threads.
What you describe seems like a similar use case?

Sharding like in retail might be interesting for huge servers but it's hardly a blizzlike experience.

or more precisely i would go with per area clusters that way u can have true retail where cities are their own instance

it may not be wotlk blizzlike but that would be amazing performance optimization

As far as I know, the solution involving instantiating areas would affect gameplay. For example, imagine you're in PvP with a player near a border, and you're trying to cast a spell, but the enemy crosses the zone border and disappears from view.
To me, instantiating seems like a worse solution because:
1. It affects gameplay.
2. You probably need to slice these zones manually.
3. It would scale worse than the solution I proposed.
4. More effort (or the same, or I could be wrong).
