I do want to be sensitive to people still using old browsers
Which browsers are supposed to be supported by django-mailman3, Postorius and Hyperkitty?
All of them. We should support netcat as a browser if we can, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to veto any changes because they don't display nicely in netcat, obviously.
I think it is reasonable to try to support browsers without Javascript or with script interpretation turned off. That can be done with a .noscript class. It's not your problem to do that, but since you will be working on the templates, if you notice that some elements require JS and don't have .noscript alternatives, you should file issues for those.
For other browsers, if we run into a problem, we'll deal with that when it happens. I'm certainly not going to ask someone to install Windows and Edge or Safari to test them, but if a problem is reported we'll want it fixed.
So I encourage you to continue work on Postorius and its dependencies About the "size of change" estimate, when you do have a handle on that …
If the currently proposed changes do not progress, it makes no sense to look how to further decrease the dependency on jQuery.
If by "progress" you mean "review of MRs", of course we'll do that.
But if you mean you expect us to install partial changes if they don't result in behavior changes, I hate to tell you, but that is not how this works. If you are not going to remove all jQuery dependencies for an application (ie, Postorious or HyperKitty and django-mailman3), we're not going to install partial changes because that means that future developers need to know both idioms well enough to realize they're different ways of saying the same thing.
