With v5 I wouldn't be surprised if they can even slim it down more than waybar. No dependency to worry about unlike waybar with gtk core.

If you consider the extras built into noctalia: notifications, screen lock (i think), wallpaper daemon .... daemons you have to install/configure piecemeal, noctalia is already in the ballpark of a waybar-based setup.
