Gonna hijack this and share my wish for Elastic in 2021: A Kibana that requires less than 1GB of disk space and doesn't require loading ~50MB of javascript and css.

While I understand that Kibana does a lot in the browser, as a sibling commenter said, I think there's much room for improvement, performance-wise.

I use fairly basic stuff in Kibana. I practically only use the discover panel with a reduced number of lines. It's by far the slowest webapp on my computer. Granted, it's a 2013 MBP (with 16 GB though), but pretty much nothing else is so painfully slow. It's barely faster on a more recent computer (i5-8500 with 32 GB).

How do you propose to do advanced dynamic and realtime graphing without a lot of JS?

That's A LOT of JS. At a quick glance, datadog appears to do a decent job with a lot less. Grafana does it in about ~20x less.

Also, doesn't explain why a fresh install of Kibana is 5.5x larger than a fresh install of Postgres.
