I find navboxes useful as an editor, and frequently use them to keep track of the related articles I edit. I would prefer to keep the functionality, but would not have a problem with it being opt-in. Cheers, Peter

Many of these templates have over 100 links in them; a surprisingly large number have "subtemplates" built into them. I'm having a hard time seeing how adding all those links at the bottom of an article is actually going to help that much. Unless we have some evidence to confirm this information is actually useful to readers -seriously, this is a community-designed feature targeted at readers as opposed to editors - it's probably time to rethink what indirectly related information on our article pages is made routinely available. We want people to use our information, not give up because it takes too long to load.

Right, and if the feature is not useful for readers (and I do not see how it is useful for editors, except for making the pages looking nicer) it possibly should not be there at all. But I do not think that just ignoring it in the mobile version without any relation to the "desktop" version is a good direction to follow.
Cheers Yaroslav
