CLI fully compatible with Linux shell?

1. Is anyone using zx with full shell integration in daily DevOPs? Example:
   df -k | ~/check_files.mjs | grep "foo" | ~/list.mjs
   I'm wondering if a shebang eliminates the need for | zx ~/do_this.mjs |?

2. If we use zx twice in a command like that, what kind of startup costs are involved? I'd like to understand how much of a performance hit we take with JS vs BASH, and where we'd lose performance with repeated usage in a single piped chain as above.

3. Would there be any less of a hit if the above command were itself wrapped in a script that is executed by zx?
   zx check_and_list.mjs which includes await ${piped_shell_commands}.

4. I've read that without zx, people are using Node by running npm init to create a package.json and then adding the package folder to their path. Without testing, I think that would significantly clutter the PATH/environment. Is there an elegant pattern to creating a lot of .mjs scripts and locating them under something like a "admin_scripts" folder with a simple PATH (glob?) so that foo.mjs or zx foo.mjs will quickly find all such scripts?

Thanks!

1. Nope.
2. Js is faster than Bash.
3. Some.
4. zx has a nice --install feature. Check it out.
