You can already Make Instances Real which creates new objects from the instanced ones in Geometry Nodes.

This doesn't preserve UV's and Materials yet though. I think this is more another evidence that applying GN should apply static UV data and other mesh data also.

This post isn't specific enough about how the node should work or how it relates to existing features. I marked it as incomplete since there's no way to move forward with the request as is.

Do you mean instancing geometry made within a node tree, that is, geometry with the green node sockets, eg the mesh primitives, and similar geometry? I personally would love this.

Currently, the geometry that can be instanced is outside of the node tree.
