Peter Jackson's films are not considered canon. However for the darkness of the forest, maybe the leaves of mirkwood could be non-trasparent. that would help without adding too much trees. In that darkness probably some bat will spawn, and that is written in the chapter. Another canon things can be adding stuff that appear out of the path. That would work the same as deads in dead marshes water, those corpses that appear and disappear. Elves, animals, a light, eyes in the night can appear  in the forest to distract you. Elves were not actually illusions but i think that's the only way to make them despawn when you try to reach them. Squirrels, if they drop their meat, that should be bad even when cooked, or just rotten flesh. The road could be interrupted in the poisonus river, so there is no bridge. small spider are seen by Bilbo on the top of the trees hunting butterflies, but i suppose they are normal spider. But if they are ungoliant's offspring, i suppose they aren't born enormous.

for Woodland Realm and Dol Guldur, i think we should tolerate their dimension, otherwise would be difficult for players to find all the structures. However the island of Thranduil's hall can be a different biome with a fixed structure that can be coded similar to a dwarf mine (a part on the surface that allow to enter and the underground tunnels), and add houses and stuff in the underground part.
