Context

The statement in the old issue is that it will hurt browser support. I would like to challenge this.

Description

According to can I use (the same database you use, a great one)
https://caniuse.com/es6-module, if you enable support for this, you are still targeting 95%+ of all users, up by 3% from your target https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/browser-support/ of 92%.

You are also putting your project at risk because security issues that have been identified and fixed on Mermaid.JS are not being implemented on your project:
e.g. mermaid-js/mermaid#847 (this example is where more bypasses were found for the old issue and were patched again to prevent more bypasses.)
