Ah, I see what you mean. You were talking about using imports recursively.
I use fetch instead of imports for web components because I have a web component that does client-side includes, and it's literally easier to do client-side includes in a performance manner than anything else, including the recursive case.
So we're back to my original comment: https://lit.dev/docs/tools/production/

And we're back to my original comment - imports get served from the local cache, so a bit of a nothing-burger in the great scheme of things.
Except cache is not infinite, it is routinely expunged and re-fetched.
The "nothing burger" is so significant that even projects whose stance is "web components are the end all be all of web development" like lit recommend bundling.
