Hi,
Very interesting topic, thanks for posting.
If you have a VRay licence, and since you say VRay handles it, you can convert the VRay material into Corona. It's not ideal as you will still have to manually tweak every material one by one, but at least it should be a bit less time consuming.
The only workaround I can think of is creating dirt using decals.
I wonder if you can use a Blend material for this.

)Hi,
Are you referring to Scanline Standard (legacy) material?
If yes, they should be converted by Corona Converter, but they also should render with Corona.
If you can, share the scene (or simplified version) so we can check.
Saw this yesterday on the Tinternet.
