> especially since Vue already uses a "compiler informed virtual DOM"

Not diffing at all against a virtual DOM and instead executing the pre-compiled DOM manipulations is an order of magnitude better in terms of processing. It also avoids diffing entirely. At a casual glance, the compiler hints and other VDOM optimisations in Vue reduce but do not obviate this burden (e.g., don't re-render static nodes, flatten the DOM tree to avoid traversing) But as ever, it's best to measure these things and I can't seem to find any recent benchmarks between the two platforms, and any benchmark would vary wildly depending on use-case, and with the exigencies of real-world development.
