For export to games, you should avoid long thin triangles. After a polyreduce (for triangulation), I end up with long thin triangles and bad topology. Is there an easy way to fix this?

I would try PolyFillSOP. It has lot of option to tesselate, have a look at the docs below, so delete those polygons and PollyFill it.

I blasted the face and then applied a PolyFill to it using QuadrilateralGrid. Not bad.
