Alacritty is so fast. It's amazing.
It has a few problems though, like I keep selecting text by mistake. Also, no tab support?
At the end of the day, I think iTerm2 is a good balance between speed and functionality.

Maybe if electron's dependencies could be compiled down to the minimum functionality needed by a given application this could work.
It means rendering without the UI from what I understand.
once you add in e.g. tmux for multiplexing and scrollback, then you are bottlenecked at tmux's speeds, as opposed to the terminal emulator's speeds (not like it really matters, but its an interesting effect)
Where will the bottleneck be?

At least the core developers should provide the default tabbed wrapper on top of it.
But who knows, maybe it will be successful even without tabs.
urxvt -pe tabbed
# or
urxvt -pe tabbedex
