    Unlisted buffers and buffers without filetypes aren't listed shown in the tabline (you can see the relevant code here). I find that as long as I stay on top of closing unused file buffers, I don't experience any LSP slowdown (but I also exit and reopen Neovim pretty regularly, so I can't say for sure).
