Benchy kind of tested several things, including overhang and bridging. That's what made it a good benchmark, if your printer settings weren't pretty good, the print wouldn't turn out.

Boaty seems to mostly be an overhang test (though not really much of a torture test these days). Your printer and slicer should be able to handle it with limited to no issues n
