Deferred loading limits for Filament tables with deep pagination

Filament Table Builder relies on Laravel's native pagination and offers a deferred loading mode that renders the table shell before fetching records. For datasets with tens of thousands of rows, standard offset-based pagination can degrade as page numbers increase. The interaction between deferred loading and deep paging is not always clear: deferred loading appears to improve initial page responsiveness, but it may not change how the database executes high-offset queries.

When configuring tables for large administrative datasets, teams need to know where the practical boundary sits. Does deferred loading only mask initial render cost, or does it also alter query execution for later pages? Additionally, the scope of bulk actions across paginated boundaries introduces another variable, since actions may apply to the visible page or the full filtered query depending on configuration.

What are the documented limits of deferred loading when paired with Laravel's offset pagination? Does deferred loading change SQL execution patterns for high page numbers, or only the timing of the HTTP response? How should table height be managed to avoid layout shifts while deferred requests resolve?
