As always, it depends on context. In reply to a question about someone’s state of health, you might hear ‘He’s very much the same, I’m afraid.’ You wouldn’t hear ‘He’s identical, I’m afraid.’

Very much means «to a great degree», so I can see how you could take it to mean identical.

However, the very use of very much suggests a scalar comparison; if something can be very much something, then something else can be comparatively less so.

So while we wouldn’t say ?»slightly the same», it remains that «very much the same» means almost identical, but not quite.

Identical means exactly the same, as in twins or two items.
Your version is correct, that things that are ‘nearly the same’ are just that, there may be a slight difference in size/shape/colour, etc.

Very much the same and identical are not idenitical.

While very much can be an intensifier, in this phrase it means very nearly but not exactly. As such, it does not mean identical

exactly the same

However, as others have suggested, it may convey that something is effectively the same

My opinion of him is very much the same as yours.
