I wonder what the most critical (and smallest, least maintained) npm package in the world is?

Probably the is-thirteen package, for checking if a number is equal to 13.

Bold of you to assume it's npm that's being spoken of :D

I don't know much about npm management, but I'm assuming it actually had nothing to do with caching? More like most companies have pipelines and breaking dependency changes won't reach prod.

Safe assumption.
