Comment (by aduth):

 On the libraries list, while it's a good reflection of those which are
 directly referenced for standalone script handles, there are some which
 aren't reflected but rather are bundled within the `@wordpress/` packages
 and provide immense value.

 My suggestions would be:

 - Prune polyfills
 - Consolidate duplicates
 - Add a few hand-selected ones from bundled packages.†

 † My metric here is very rough, but a general gauge of "We'd be in a very
 hard spot if these didn't exist"

 Practically speaking, from the list above, this means:

 Remove:

 - Babel Polyfill
 - Closest
 - FormData
 - Polyfill.io
 - ReactDom
 - watwg-fetch ''(sic)''

 Add:

 - [https://redux.js.org/ Redux] (state management underpinning
 `@wordpress/data`)
 - [http://showdownjs.com/ Showdown] (markdown parser, critical to Markdown
 paste to blocks conversion)
 - [https://www.npmjs.com/package/tinycolor2 tinycolor2] (color utilities
 used for contrast accessibility warnings, most readable color suggestions)
 - [https://github.com/tildeio/simple-html-tokenizer simple-html-tokenizer]
 (key component to block validation)

 Here's also a full list of package "dependencies" entries:

 n_ > _.uniq( _.flatten( require( 'fs' ).readdirSync( './packages' ).map( (
 pkgName ) => Object.entries( require( './packages/' + pkgName +
 '/package.json' ).dependencies || {} ).reduce( ( result, [ key, value ] )
 => [ ...result, key ], [] ) ) ) ).filter( ( pkgName ) => !
 pkgName.startsWith( '@wordpress/' ) )
