'textures' is a weird collection that doesn't seem to be a good clause for our cause.
As of v0.31.0 it features:
- transparency.svg (not in use currently), see also T141801
- pending.gif, which is 2 KB large and should be replaced by a CSS animation
Latter is only used in SelectFileWidget (with drop target) when loading thumbnail, which is from a performance perspective counter-productive anyways.
Outside of OOUI it's used in Echo from what is easily identifiable:

Remove 'textures' pack for dev clarity and code hygiene/performance.
