Ogre got a bit of a critical review from Mike Acton a few years ago along those lines and since I believe they have re-architected things quite a bit. So I'm not sure from what version your comments apply, it is more performant now than it used to be.
It might not be the engine to use if you want to make Doom5, but some of the best selling games of all time of have been made in Java, or older versions of Unity, which have more performance limitations than Ogre.
Pokemon Go, Subnautica, Kerbal Space Program come to mind immediately.
It should be noted that ALL of these, including minecraft, suffered in quality because of their performance. But, commercially they all did really well.

Any examples of this other than the obvious one (Minecraft)? That is the only one I can think of.

To clarify, Subnautica and Kerbal Space Program are examples of Unity games, not Java.
Pokemon Go was also made in Unity.
I think Slay the Spire was Java.
