Support for batch geocoding points with ArcGIS GeocodingServer as it greatly reduces run time. Was able to run almost 100,000 points in 20 minutes in ArcGIS (which natively batches) vs like 2 hours in FME which doesn't batch.

The Geocoder transformer supports setting 'Maximum Concurrent Requests' in the Advanced section. Does this help? It does still submit in parallel – not true batch – but this might hopefully speed things up!
And have you tried the ArcGISOnlineBatchGeocoder custom transformer available from FME Hub?

I set that to like 124 and it took like 6 hours to run 300,000 points. I ran the same points via a batch geocode in ArcGIS Desktop and it took like 30-45 minutes. I ended up killing the Geocode server by submitting it multiple times within a close time frame.
I didn't see the AGOL Batch one, but for me it's just easier to dump it in a csv and have ArcGIS do the heavy lifting than trying to figure that out.

See if you can leverage this one, it uses the batch REST endpoint in any ArcGIS geocode service.

Will there ever be a "batch" Geocode transformer to support ArcGIS Server?

@natalie_campos ArcGIS Server is supported in the Geocoder transformer for FME 2021.2 (Build 21746) and newer.
