Perhaps unsurprisingly, I think this is not a reasonable choice in the case of Module Loaders. Modules (and this would go for any possible design of modules) just aren't able to serve important the use cases in the absence of dynamic loading and configuration of where to fetch modules. It's also the case that this doesn't avoid all of the work, it just pushes some of it onto embedders of JS, in particular HTML. I don't think that's the right choice either.
