Unless something I can’t predict changes, using LLMs for EVERYTHING smacks of bloat. They’re just not very efficient at many tasks. I don’t know why in a world where people complain relentlessly about bloat in web development, how it could possibly be right for everybody to just use something as heavyweight as LLMs.

Because while you and I rightfully complain about web development bloat, normal people who use the products made with those tools don't care, as long as it does what they need the product to do
How about using an LLM to help you write a MuZero-like model designed for a specific task? (Also MuZero took like 12 hours to train on old hardware, so my MacBook might be good enough here) obviously we’re not here yet, but it doesn’t seem far away. Hell, you could train a small LLM specifically just to do this.
