What Hacker News says?
I'm looking forward to Phoenix 1.6 which ditches Webpack for esbuild. So am I!

I found it compelling but was concerned it was a bit early and not enough others would be using esbuild that issues I hit would be googleable. Now that it's the Phoenix default, that won't be a problem.
