how do I bulk-remove users from ML in MM3?
I just realized that "mailman members" only offers to "add members" via "-a filename" but I see no remove option.

I assume you mean from the command line, since mass remove can be done from the postorius interface for the list. Checking the 'mailman members -h', I don't see any options for mass removal (strange since add has a function). This might be a consequence of the way members are now tied to ownership in lists (changed from MM2>MM3).

It’s true,
mailman membersdoesn’t currently have a —remove option.
I found Rest API call for single user removal but I am questioning it's effectiveness given that I need to use this operation to potentially remove 1500 members

Postorius is currently using this to mass unsubscribe. AFAIK there is an open issue in core to add such functionality

Yes, see https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/419
Yes, the current API has a number of scaling issues. Delete is bad, but other operations can require multiple API calls... (e.g. get state to conditionally create; create+patch; create user+create subscription, ...) https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/367 (and others)
Mass modify is also missing - https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/241 notes one such case.

I've created an (ugly) implementation of what I needed:
https://gitlab.med.stanford.edu/irt-public/mailman-tools
tools are built mostly to deal with docker deployment, but don't have to be that way)
sync_users.py will take anything from stdin and synchronize member list received on stdin with member list in MM adding/removing users. This should reduce number of calls and execution times.
