    you can fake caustics with just a plain under the light source. put a noise texture and a color ramp on the Alpha and adjust the roughness down detail up and scale down then add a light under the plane adjust the color and brightness now just animate either the detail value on the noise texture or swap it yo 4D and animate the W value it will render pretty fast as well
