Could be nice but I'll be avoiding parcel like the plague after being confronted by its complete lack of maintenance of parcel v1 while v2 is in beta, and not the working kind of beta, the broken kind, while the solution to old problems is "use parcel 2" (https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/5695

Used parcel for quite some time, but switched some time ago to: https://esbuild.github.io/
Wondering how parcel performs against esbuild?

Great news, but that PR just got merged a few hours ago!

Sucrase is what you're looking for. When converting to ES6+, it's actually almost 2x as fast as esbuild on a single thread (though slower in aggregate).
As they point out, there's a JIT warmup time. Testing against small projects that don't allow this makes JS transpilers look much worse than they actually are in real-world projects.

For a beginner, I wouldn't recommend vite just yet. There are still rough edges (like browser load time being unbearably slow): https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/3208
If you're starting out, I'd suggest spending more of your time in a higher level of the stack (like writing application code, learning React/etc), rather than spending time deeper down in the plumbing, especially if you're using cutting-edge pieces in the build pipeline.
