Opinions may differ here. Their sticker packs feature added at least 50 MB (mostly via node_modules): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/3919

What features do you mean here? The GitHub issue is a bug report and not a feature request. However, there are two features that could help: Backups (export and import functionality) and syncing older messages from the phone during the initial setup. Both of these features can be fully optional and shouldn't require much code.
And they do regularly add new features (that I didn't ask for but I get why) anyway: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/releases
Updates have been meaningful and minimal.
