Create Templates composed solely of Panel components
@philippjfr mentioned that the current generation of Panel templates are backed by Jinja2 templates initially because of a limitation in Bokeh where there can't be too many nested shadow roots(?), or else it would lag.
Now, I think this limitation is fixed(?). If so, we can steer away from Jinja2 templates and re-create them using native Panel components, with the benefit that it's usable in notebooks and there's no need to learn a separate template concept. Also, we can experiment with much more variety of templates easily.
The few things that I can think of that are not available are a collapsible sidebar component and ability to swap between light/dark theme.

That would be awesome! So templates would look the same in a Notebook and in the browser using panel.serve() ?
That brings me to my other question: are (some of) the current templates responsive to various screen sizes (including mobile?), and if so, could that be accomodated in Panel-based templates?
Are the current stretch-width, stretch_both etc. properties sufficient to achieve that? I have always found them tricky to work with, but maybe that's just me.
I guess the nice thing here is that Panel templates can be introduced, while initially keeping the current templates intact?

No; Panel/Bokeh unfortunately isn't optimized for mobile.

Maybe we shouldn't be targeting templates, but rather just Panel layout items.
Toggle between standard and dark theme should also be supported. Should that be a separate issue? Is it this at the Bokeh level?

Does the introduction of the concept of Page in PMUI actually solve / accomodate (some of) the issues and limitations described above?
-No separate template concept needed -Usable in Notebooks -Responsiveness to mobile form factors -More?
