There is one thing that seems to be utilized. When I change the advanced to be loaded only for reviwers, loading a page locally logged out doesn't show the tooltip when you hover over the icon:

Moving that to basic shouldn't be hard.

As far as I understand, it powers the review state box visible on the top right on https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0?safemode=1 – ruwiki uses Common.css to hide the box, but FlaggedRevs cannot know this in advance. I see two options:

• Introduce a LocalSettings.php variable that allows hiding the box on the main page. I don’t know how complicated this would be, and it would only help on the main page (although the main page is probably the most performance-sensitive one, so it may still make sense).
• Try to split the module to download only the absolutely necessary parts. This decreases the amount of JS downloaded by the module, but increases the number of RL modules.

And in any case, migrate it from OOUI to Codex if possible, so that OOUI doesn’t have to be downloaded at all.

Wonder if we can turn ext.flaggedRevs.basic to include js as well and move those parts there.

Another option for ruWP might be to turn on the ‘basic’ experience by default since we don't seem to show the ‘advanced’ version to IP users and I would argue ‘advanced’ option is pretty, for the lack of the technical term, shit for everyone else as well. That whole interface really needs a redesign, but in the case of Russian Wikipedia, I think switching it off might be a proper solution as well.
