If you mean for GI, officially none really besides baking
There is SSAO at least
And you can of course try out third party SSGI implementations

meager estuary it runs slow

Slowness is relative to what you're rendering in your scene and how, and with what hardware
HDRP is built around its fancy graphical features so if you implemented the same features into URP there's little guarantee it'll be any faster
On the other hand HDRP's rendering complexity can be stripped down to some extent
And of course default settings in either render pipeline are not going to be exactly what your project needs

SSGI is pretty terrible as a sole source of indirect lighting. You'll want RTGI for the real deal.

#

Cheap on new GPU's, slow on old ones.
