Is there some way around the performance hit, i.e. a require() like behaviour where the dependencies are detected server side and loaded into a single file to be sent to the client?

You can use require like syntax with for example Webpack (search internet for webpack + angular 1.x) or you can simply use gulp (there are videos on it on Treehouse) and concat all files together. (I assume webpack can also do just simple concating, but I've never used it that way). By doing so you would get just the same result as including every file in HTML one under another, but concatenated in one file. (and ideally minified for production).
