It looks like there's a plan to improve popovers on mobile: T386144: Popover: create mobile-version in Codex

Perhaps we can just exclude the onboarding for mobile for now. Would that be okay? The 'manage labels' tab will still be there, for the inquisitive, and it has a help link.

I've been experimenting with making the popover full width as it is in the designs, and it's not simple to make it reliable.

But how about we not show the image? That makes it much more readable I think, e.g.:
