    I remember reading an update that model can have custom Normals, how to enable it? I use Normal transfer to smooth out surface but does not work in Verge.

    You need to enable Autosmooth checkbox on the model and be sure that all faces has no more than 4 sides.

    They can use specific techniques that are not supported, like bevel Node and n-gons.

    The only way to use the MeshMachine addon is prepare the polygon mesh first otherwise very tedious to edit after Boolean merge.

    If you prepear a simple example with not working mesh we can try to find what kind of feate not working and may be can solve it or point you wich of them to remove or convert somehow.

    Here is an example, the surrounding polygons of any Boolean must reconstruct to match.

    Yes, the problem because of a lot of n-gons, that are not supported. Without them this will not work. Or you need to cnvert n-gons to polygons or tryangles before you transfer normals. Please, place a request to suport n-gons in Bug Reports and Feature Requests forum to mention this problem separately.
