Texture2DArrays for Compute Shaders

[BurningFluffer]

I am making a complex voxel terrain with a complex generation code. Each chunk is stored as a Texture2DArray (equally could be a Texture3D, but that has more limitations). For this use case, it makes a lot of sence to use compute shaders to handle all the complex generation.
Thus, I need to pass a Texture2DArray as a uniform to a shader, and then extract it and convert into Texture2DArray again.

Here come the problems:
1) According to documentation, there are some methods that involve Texture2DArray (or similar), but none that can be used to pass the Texture2DArray as a uniform. Normal shaders can easily use those, so I assume that is a functionality that has either not been exposed, documented, or requires a lot more clarity/tutorial.
2) After the compute shader finished processing, it returns everything as bytes, which need to be converted into the desired format. There is no method for converting bytes into a Texture2DArray. Unfortunately, I could not find anything that would seem appropriate for this.

I believe that storing data as textures is the most optimal way for both memory and processing speed. So, while I have no idea how that could be implemented on a technical level, I believe that this is a vital functionality that is unclear/missing from Godot. The documentation has already improved a lot on compute shaders, and I believe that this is a gap that was approached yet not finalized.

Having Texture2DArrays/Texture3Ds processed by compute shaders would help both in voxel generation, animation editing, modifying mesh textures that are composed of multiple textures and co-dependent masks, and other uses. Putting data into a single sampler2Darray is way better than splitting everything into a layer per uniform and trying to figure out how to reference them all for looping, before spending more time reassembling the Texture2DArray manually, especially with hundreds of layers.
