HTTP2 allows the server to push files to the browser.

If you don't have tons of code, tree shaking and minification is not that important. If you depend on a couple libraries (Jquery, for example) those can be minified and just refered to directly in the source.

Chrome removed support for HTTP/2 Server Push last year.

As I remember, it never saw broad adoption because it was technically challenging to integrate with, and it tended to push a lot of resources clients already had, so it wasn't a big win for efficiency anyway.

HTTP early hints still exists and can achieve similar things as server push without wasting bandwidth.
