Comment (by westonruter):

 @celloexpressions I'm not sure I understand the dependency on #38015 or
 terms. Since nav menu items are just posts, then we can use straight
 `auto-draft` as well.

 I'm not sure about using hybrid placeholders, other than perhaps a
 placeholder control could be added which could show some loading indicator
 and then get replaced with the actual control once the Ajax request
 completes. This would be similar to how Facebook reduces the sense of
 latency by showing stories with placeholder content while the page loads.
