I ran into the same issue (similar to #98). Then I revisited their configuration:

Since everything in Stencil is async and lazy loaded by default, it is important to NOT have any hard import statements linking components together.

https://stenciljs.com/docs/stencil-config

So what I understand for now is to include a <script src="build/vendor.js"></script> alongside with all needed 3rd party libraries.

I was briefly thinking of a utility item in the stencil.config.js like vendor: true, that will automatically strip out all imports coming from node_modules (except @stencil/**), tree-shake them and pack it into a vendor.js.
I'm too fresh into stencil to know if that's the way stencil should go in the future.

Hello all! I am going to close this as a duplicate of #98. Thanks for being an early adopter of Stencil!
