Drop lodash as a dependency

[Xorok]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Lodash hasn't been updated in four years. It is also a CommonJS dependency and therefore increases bundle size (doesn't support tree shaking) and can cause optimization bailouts. For many functions, there are native JS alternatives nowadays and other more performant libraries.

Describe the solution you'd like / Describe alternatives you've considered

Replace Lodash with native JS functions or a more modern, actively maintained library.
I would suggest es-toolkit, which is actively maintained (last update 2 weeks ago), is faster than Lodash and offers a drop-in replacement for Lodash.
