Agreed. However much of the embedded script is reliant on TMPL
variables, so it's not possible to eliminate it from the template.

As others have said, we use jQuery in many places in Koha so there's
no problem here.

Upgrading the version of jQuery Koha uses should be a to-do item for 3.4.

Anything that will improve the performance of this page will be very
much welcomed.

Thanks for sharing,
