It's what Unreal does:

Once you've begun collecting money for your product, you'll need to track gross revenue and pay a 5% royalty on that amount after $1 million USD in gross revenue is earned.

Also, right now Unity forces you to take a subscription to their paid version when you make more than $100k a year.

I was wondering how they would do it with tiny companies using excel spreadsheets to track... but if it's only 1M+ companies they have to have decent books, so that makes it easy.

Once you hit a $1m target, they'll be wanting to see your books yeah. That is a much smaller number and doable. Believe me, tracking revenue of other companies is a pain in the ass though. I've done a number of OEM deals and revenue based OEM deals are much more complicated than usage based OEM deals.
