Enabling the search recipe adds nearly 280kb of JavaScript to the page relative to the base recipe.
Part of this is due to 📌 Try to load autocomplete and other js when the search button is clicked Active . However, uninstalling search_api_autocomplete only removes about 60kb of JavaScript, leaving about 180kb on the page.
This appears to be at least partly because because search-wide.js itself depends on jQuery, and is shown for anonymous users. I couldn't yet find another library on that page that could cause jQuery to be pulled in. Will try to update here if it turns out to be something else too.
Install Drupal CMS, check JavaScript weight on the front page as an anonymous user, install the search recipe and compare, uninstall search_api_autocomplete and compare again.
