It doesn't even need to be that much work: simply publishing desired time-to-render scores would have had the same effect: x seconds for mobile 3G, y seconds for desktop, etc. Maybe add a couple of <link rel=preload> tags for the top 1-2 results and the mobile experience would be enormously better than what we get with AMP and its 100KB of render-blocking JavaScript.
