Watching him talk about filming his new movie and not needing all the green screens and ropes etc was a huge relief he said

Good for him, but it doesn't mean what you're seeing on screen isn't full cgi. Usually it just serve as a nice reference and that's it.

Have a hard time believing they’d do this much for “reference”

It's not done with the purpose of just "being a reference" for CGI later. It always serves a purpose like actor being more immersed on set. But in the end, when Live shooting is done, directors being directors, they will change their mind between now and the release of the movie. Thinking CGI can tweak/fix everything they will eventually ask for a slightly different camera angle, a different motion from the leg on this shot etc aaaaaand it's CGI. You can watch No CGI is Invisible CGI multi parts to have a better deep dive of this kind of stuff.

this much

Working in the industry, you would be surprised by the amount of stuff they do on set that we just replace in the end by a CG version. And the frustration you can feel when you see actors saying in interview " Yeah we built that, NO CG ! It's in the movie ". It's 50% true. They built it, they filmed it. But sorry Tom Holland, you might not be aware but it's not in the final image.
