I have read some of the arguments.
They seem to hinge on similarities of depictions on coins of the era among other things.

The maker of these plates might have used the coins as a reference or they might have been actually used a part of the mold in the original.

I am not really interested in whether they are fake or not. That will be proven one way or another scientifically, not by ‘consensus’ opinion.

If they are real, it won’t change much of today’s world.
If they are fake, it won’t change any of today’s world...............

That’s not really the best evidence. One of the codices has Greek text that appears to have been copied, word for word, from a tombstone on display in a museum in Jordan, but the copier did not know Greek, because they confused the letters lambda and alpha. Only a fragment of the text on the tombstone was copied, and this was repeated over and over, in a nonsensical fashion. Also, that codex was originally claimed to be found in Egypt, but now it’s popped up again with the lead codices and claimed to have been found in Jordan.
