Gov.uk drops jQuery from their front end

Is it worth adding the library (download size + script parsing & execution) for that though?

At the very least there are some jQuery alternatives that are modular, smaller, and have less backwards compatibility like iirc zepto.

Yup. Because the size of the library and the execution time just isn't that big of a deal, it's something people seem to obsess over but it doesn't really matter much.
