The toolkit uses DISM for WIM<->ESD conversions and the available switches are fast max none recovery For WIM I do use the max and for ESD do use the recovery. I don't know what the NTLite uses internally, does it uses the DISM or the Wimlib-imagex for exporting the indexes.
@MSMG I have one question. It's safe to remove Registry hive leftovers?

By updates, do you mean any updates under the Windows Update section (like definition updates, .NET updates, monthly cumulative updates etc.) or only the major feature updates (like 1809, 2004, 2009)?
May be is not a bad idea include this into the cleanup scenario as a additional (hidden) step(s) that help to produce an image more clean? I beleive all such cleanings should help to reduce "user fingerprint" and improve privacy a little bit (do not save such data on disk forever for M$). I like every smallest step that help us to survive in the era of privacy leaks.
I was thinking we could make a separate open script that deals with empty folders and obsolete files for cleanup
Well, why not? But I thought about non-urgent collecting of the most sensitive cleanups with time flow inside the bundle (as a solid/approved/safe part of the bundle). 1. The most important thing for me is that all such initiatives must be approved by our own expert - @MSMG. Here I trust his decision: is it a good idea to make such edits for the image or not. Do not brake things - is a priority. Also I don't want to bother @MSMG unnecessarily, because he busy within much more important things (I'm expecting a new cool things in the near future). 2. I have my own CMD (still W.I.P.) for cleaning AFTER Windows installation. But I'm not an expert in prepearing of images. So, here I fully rely on our favorite bundle and his creator.
With Windows v1903 and above the Microsoft introduced a new update package format which will restore the removed components upon updating the system. Almost all components do get restored either in full or part, only Windows Apps are not affected since it gets updated through store. Window Store and Xbox which have backend files do get restored by Cumulative update.
Agree with you absolutely OK, But remove empty folders is bad idea. I tried to remove empty folders in entire install.wim. 'Cause it to breaks Windows setup.
Can someone tell me if Windows 10 Version 1607 Build 14393 is still supported by MSMG v11.0? Is removing components for Windows 10 Version 1607 Build 14393 supported by MSMG v11.0 and if so by what methods?
