I develop Lonboard [0], a Python library for plotting large geospatial data. If you have small data (~max 30,000 coordinates), leaflet-based Python libraries like folium and ipyleaflet can be fine, but because Lonboard uses deck.gl for GPU-accelerated rendering, it's 30-50x faster than leaflet for large datasets [1].

Parquet-WASM: Rust-based WebAssembly bindings to read and write Parquet data
I'll let Kyle chime in but I tested it a few months ago with millions of polygons on an M2 16GB of RAM laptop and it worked very well.
There is a library by the same author called lonboard that provides the JS bits inside JupyterLab. https://github.com/developmentseed/lonboard
I think it is based on the Kepler.gl / Deck.gl data loaders that go straight to GPU from network.
