You can just patch out rollup-plugin-terser usage and use 
uglifyjs.terser command line.

See

and

Using webpack is also fine, but if you can get rollup to work that is 
preferred. The actual requirement is, the generated files should have 
corresponding source. There are many cases where we already use 
different tools from what upstream uses for various resons.
