OTOH Deno can produce self-contained binaries. For me this is a plus, it makes distribution so much easier. I don't care if it's 100MB, I just want to have one file which I can throw on my server,

That feature has a bad history of refusing to run due to unsupported things you're using, just like deno bundle.

So does node.js nowadays. But yeah, I agree it is an awesome feature!

That’s overstating it a bit. As you can see, it’s an experimental, tedious, manual process with Node:

Deno, on the other hand, has it as a supported, complete feature that’s very easy to use:
