As someone that spend many days on performance I will tell you that bundle size have minimal impact on performance. In most cases backend dominate any performance discussion.
Apps are slow because caching is missing, naive pagination, poorly written API calls waterfall, missing db indexes, bad data model, database choice or slow serverless environment. Extra 1MB of bundle add maybe 100ms to one time initial load of app that can mitigated trivially with code splitting.
I didn't mention bundle size at all. We're focusing on rendering.
