Dillo/NetSurf may be of interest to you. They fit the size requirement as well as the "lack of JS" requirement (i.e. no JS support at all). "appsites" will definitely not work in them, but the document-oriented web and things like HN are fine.

I've used Dillo, but unfortunately most web pages are seriously malformed. Would be nice if it was possible to get some better CSS support.
I would like to see better JS support, but the scope of JS is simply insane for such a small browser. It's unfortunate much of the web is completely unusable without running JS. Perhaps it's possible to first run the page through a larger browser engine and then send the processed content to the small browser (such as Dillo), that would massively widen the scope of what it could display.
Use dillo from HG, it has better CSS support.

Edbrowse has JS support thanks to duktape.

Huh, very interesting: https://duktape.org/
I initially assumed by ducktape you meant "barely held together"!
