I'd take the abstraction over compile times, but not having near-instant feedback is a huge compromise. But I've never known it to miss it.

I'm not using Scala, so I have no insight into this, but it's interesting nonetheless.
Hard to give meaningful figures, but a "small" project can take 2-3 seconds to compile; a 1000 person-year project, maybe 30-60 mins.

In the latter case, it would likely be heavily modularized, so the majority of incremental recompiles would still be a couple of seconds.

Yeah, OK. So having many packages might improve incremental compilation?

Yeah, of course. I can see how that's a problem. :/ I recall something about Go compiling its standard lib in ~1s.

Not sure how big that is, though.
