That's what I did before npm came around, but proper package management, hot reload, test runners etc. are creature comforts I'd hate to do without these days. Keeping dependencies up to date when getting them from a CDN is pretty cumbersome.

Gotcha. I bet you could throw a script together that would use the package.json to auto generate script tags to inject in an HTML file.

It's not ideal but I don't think it'd be too hard. This would require though a build step which is what you seem to want to avoid.
