I’ve worked in e-commerce for years and the thing that always slows down the sites the most is 3rd party scripts. Are you addressing this? I couldn’t find anything in the repo.

Ive had websites slow down 10x just by introducing the Facebook re-targeting script for instance

Yes, we've had similar experiences and plan to address them to some extent. In certain cases, like with Facebook, it might not be straightforward, but we want to provide built-in alternatives e.g. analytics specifically tailored for e-commerce that cover ~80% of what you need, with the rest being a trade-off.

I also think Facebook, Google, Hotjar et al. will eventually get better with those scripts.

This really isn't a problem a web platform can solve for itself.

Just use server side tag manager.
