    Only a reference to the prefab is stored and will be destroyed when you call ReleaseInstance. By unparenting it, the prefab no longer has a reference to the child, and you will need manually destroy it.

    Does ResourceManager.CleanupSceneInstances cleans up inactive gameobjects too?

    This needs to be documented better. This page says that assets instantiated with trackHandle set to true are automatically released, but doesn't specify when that occurs. The page for InstantiateAsync doesn't mention automatic releasing at all.
