Statics Best Practice

I'm setting up the management system for a game project I'm working on, which at its core has a GameManager class which carries across all scenes via singleton. Within each scene is a LevelManager class which holds properties specific to that level (player start position, etc.). A reference to the current LevelManager is added to the GameManager when a scene launches, and is set to null when the scene changes. I'm currently assigning the LevelManagers to a Static property, but I'm wondering if there is any point to doing so if I'm going to reference the GameManager instance anyway. Do people have an opinion on whether it is better to keep it as a static or just use a public property?

  public class GameController : MonoBehaviour
     {
         public string helloWorld = "Hello World";
     
         private static GameController _instance;
         public static GameController Instance
         {
             get
             {
                 return _instance;
             }
         }
     
         private static LevelController _currentLevelController;
         public static LevelController currentLevelController
         {
             get
             {
                 return _currentLevelController;
             }
         }
     
         void Awake()
         {
             if (_instance == null)
             {
                 _instance = this;
                 Debug.LogWarning("GameController assigned on awake.");
             }
         }
     
         public void AssignLevelController(LevelController levelControllerInstance)
         {
             Debug.Log("LevelController unassigned: " + currentLevelController);
             _currentLevelController = levelControllerInstance;
             Debug.Log("LevelController assigned: " + currentLevelController);
         }
     }
     
     
     public class LevelController : MonoBehaviour
     {
         private GameController gameController;
         public string property = "Property Recieved!";
     
         void Awake()
         {
             gameController = GameController.Instance;
             gameController.AssignLevelController(this);
         }
     }
     
     
     public class GetLevelControllerProperties : MonoBehaviour
     {
         private LevelController levelController;
     
         void Start()
         {
             levelController = GameController.currentLevelController;
             StartCoroutine(GetProperty());
         }
     
        IEnumerator GetProperty()
         {
             yield return new WaitForSeconds(5f);
     
             Debug.Log(GameController.Instance.helloWorld);
     
             Debug.Log(levelController.property);    //Has to access through the GameController
         }
     }
