Few more things may be included to be 2020:
Not a word about architecting stuff to be app-like: offline-first mobile business work approach, pwa and eventual transition to RN, not Cordova/PhoneGap - if a native app is required.

Haven’t heard a word from Facebook about migrating the engine to WebAssembly.

All the design patterns and dependencies over addition in JavaScript is making the web bigger and bigger and slower. In production, sometimes the apps may be fast and optimized, but - How big is your node _modules?

96% of Node modules folder files are never use in production or development even there is so much junk in that folder, packages downloading their complete git history and 100s of files while you may need one 1 or 2 JavaScript files from it!

WebAssembly looks cool. There hasn't been much explanation about this silence you mention.
