Note that Max's analysis is primarily centered around mobile and MobileFrontend.
I'd say the analysis applies equally to the 'regular' desktop view as well.
Mobile and desktop both use ResourceLoader to batch and minify JS and CSS, and use similar HTTP caching mechanisms (the mobile caching is slightly more complicated due to the need to handle a couple slightly different output formats etc).
It's not clear that mod_pagespeed does much useful that we can't do in MediaWiki + cache layer, and it doesn't really fit in well to the dynamic site architecture.
