Observable is such an incredible, powerful and enjoyable tool. I use it heavily, including to power my blog. I love it, but I've always had a slight concern about needing to rely on the Observable notebook website. So this has really made my day.
To give a sense of the kind of performant, statically hosted interactive content that has only really been within my reach since using Observable, here are some examples:
Highly interactive vis:

Editable computations that flow through the document
https://www.robinlinacre.com/computing_fellegi_sunter/ https://www.robinlinacre.com/computing_fellegi_sunter/
Multiple synced representations of data:

https://www.robinlinacre.com/partial_match_weights/ https://www.robinlinacre.com/partial_match_weights/ (half way down, under 'Understanding the partial match weight chart and waterfall chart)
Of course, there are a huge number of additional examples:

but i think the whole thing makes much more sense to the end-user when embedded (sadly at which point they don't even know it's observable!)
