Here are a few brief replies:

popups/tiling - use `<dialog>`

real-time chat - use websockets

slow/unreliable connections - well yeah this is a problem for any app...if you're delivering a 2MB paylaod to start the web app so that it doesn't need a connection, you're just betting that the user has a fast connection initially. what if that's not true either? back to square one. REST/Hypermedia encourages sending small payloads and working within those real constraints

I have no idea what you're talking about with "true web3 and ethereum". HTMX has nothing to do with web3 or crypto.
