I suppose it depends on how much you want to put effort into optimizing a single app for all users, rather than having a lite version of the site.

For my company, we serve images and video. Even multi megabyte JavaScript only equals one minute of a 720p videos runtime.

For people on restricted connections, we have a lite versions with less than 100k JavaScript and videos transcoded to 260p.
