> I've always been a bit skeptical of JS charting libs that want to bring the entire data to the client and do the rendering there

The computer on my desk only costs me the electric power to run it, and there's 0 network latency between it and the monitor on which I'm viewing charts. If I am visualizing some data and I want to rapidly iterate on the visualization or interact with it, there's no more ideal place for the data to reside than right there. DDR5 and GPUs will be cheap again, some day.
