    How do I create a Lightweight RP shader that has [PerRendererData] on the _BaseColor? I want to have different colors for my objects without using thousands of materials.Thanks!

    This doesn’t do anything apart from hide the value in the inspector. It’s a legacy thing related to Unity 4.0 sprite renderers and has no use today. You can use material property blocks with any material without incurring the cost of creating new materials.

    Instancing is a different thing. Right now the only way to make shaders with instanced values is to hand write the shader.
