Not sure if something exists for that though. Ideally the style.css in the source tree stays readable …

An approach might be a build.rs file which applies some optimizations on the (embedded) assets, e.g. with css-minify. However, if you have the gzip layer, I don't know if that makes that big of a difference in performance, and also in binary size.

Indeed, not worth it. gzipping after minification is only a few ten bytes smaller than just gzipping.
