#2Honestly, I believe you have made it a tad complex than it needs to be. I migrated to Jekyll from WordPress about 4 years ago. It does have all 100s in Google PageSpeed. I used Jekyll as just another tool so I can stick to GitHub Pages. There is nothing tied to anything, and I can move all the Markdown contents to another system within hours, if not minutes. I can also upload the generated HTML via FTP, and it will work as well.
Almost all audio, images, and videos are rather ornamental, and the content will be OK without them. I try to have all content as standalone on its own as possible. For instance, the posts follow the pattern "_posts/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD-url-goes-here.md," so I know where the yearly content is, despite each post having its own designated published date. I also have a folder "_posts/todo" where published (but work-in-progress) and future dated posts live.
For images, I stopped worrying about serving multiple sources. I optimized it somewhere between good enough for both mobile and higher (I now consider tablet and desktop the same).

#3I use Jekyll for my company website [1] and managed to get a lot of speed optimisations simply by using a post-processing tool on the statically generated output.
The tool I use is Jampack and I'd highly recommend it: https://jampack.divriots.com
For my product website, it reduced the overall size by 590MB or approximately 59% in size, along with changing the HTML/CSS to make the optimisations that this article notes.

Do you mean KB or do you have a 1GB website??

#5And yet when I open the page it first loads without CSS and then after 0.5s applies the style.

They are most likely referring to the overall size of the whole website including all generated HTML for posts, static content, styles etc.

#7I have a blog with pagespeed score of 98 but still got several pages de-indexed from google. Guess my content isn't that important.

They probably forgot to inline the critical CSS.

1gb is huge even for a whole website. Unless there are videos or hundred of high definition photos. Curious to know what makes up this space.
