I'm testing various email utilities (neomutt, notmuch, mu) and productivity gains they offer are great, but being CLI tools none of them allow you to view rendered html email messages (e.g. .eml files) out of the box, so I'm looking for an external, lightweight tool that can be hooked instead.

There are larger projects like thunderbird or evolution that can be used for that, but perhaps there are other projects that can also quickly render fonts, display images in email messages without requiring 200MB+ on disk or run javascript?

I've tried w3m, but images were flickering a lot depending on terminal and rendered layouts differs from most GUI clients.

astroid is an interesting project that fits the above description pretty well. It requires you to set up notmuch first, but then provides fast and lightweight html rendering of messages (opens instantaneously). It also features small install size (on my machine it was only 3.56MB - I've had GTK and Qt already installed though) and configurable vim keybindings.
