I would guess that any add-on would have to be injected at runtime every time you start up the game. Being part of your stadia profile for ESO. Any added add-on's and any updates to them would have to be approved/vetted so that they don't do anything they shouldn't. (Writing/reading files where they shouldn't, quality control etc). When you download an add-on on your PC then the risk is soly on you. But if they would be added to eso stadia then the risk is on stadia/eso. This would probably mean that it would be a subset of the available add-on's and they would have to get permissions from the original authors before including them. Just picking them off esoui or whatever would lead to a nest of legalese conundrums. And all of this would have to be managed by people with a monthly salary, which means that the stadia eso player base would have to be large enough to support it. All in all, it may not be as easy as it might seem.
I wonder if canonical etc is aware of the issue. It should be in the linux distrubitionists interest to get stadia running properly on their platforms.

You'd have to petition Bethesda to add some form of add-on support on their end. Any add-on would have to be included into your profile and added in realtime into the game every time you start a cloud instance of eso. or alternatively try to get Bethesda to include similar functionality into the base game as a few of the most popular add-ons. Perhaps with a settings menu in-game to turn them on/off.

Well, one way to try to find out what the problem is is to lower the stream quality. In the stadia app on your phone, click your avatar on the top right and under "Data usage & performance" select "Limited data usage". Then restart Stadia in your chrome on windows. If you don't experience the same lag any more then your setup can't decode the stream fast enough in the higher resolutions. This could be because hardware decoding isn't used. Find a guide online on how to activate it in chrome. If you experience the same amount of lag then it could be a network issue, you might have a browser plugin that messes things up or you might need to reconfigure your input device.

Being a Linux user I feel your pain. As other have said before, chrome does not do hardware video decoding on linux. And you can try to get it working by using chromium. Not all gfx cards does vp9 decoding though and you might have to find a browser plugin that forces the stadia video stream to h264 if the card supports that (like h264ify). I couldn't get chromium and hardware decoding to work properly on my setup though, so up until a few days ago I have been playing stadia without any problem with lag using the "Limit data usage" (720) setting. Visually not all that pleasing, but silky smooth. You can set this by clicking your avatar in the stadia app under "Data usage & performance". I recommend you try this setting for now. Just a few days ago my main setup broke down so I bought a replacement mobo and cpu (A 9th gen Intel core I7-9700F) and it's fast enough to decode the video stream in both balanced and best visual quality settings using chrome on Ubuntu. Just in case upgrading your computer is an option for you.

I ended up buying an Acer Chromebook CB714 that I found on sale. Stadia plays just fine in 1080p (balanced) on it over wifi. It has a 14" full hd multitouch screen, an 8 gen Intel core I3 cpu, 4Gb memory and an integrated GPU that does hardware decoding of the stadia stream. It does not have a HDMI output nor wired ethernet. But I suppose I'll get some adapters at some point.

Would be nice. Remember that the stadia servers are using linux though. In other words, it might only support Linux ported games or use steam's windows api 'emulation' layer which is a bit fiddly at times (Imagine the salt google will get if things don't work 100% even if it's not their fault).
While a valid argument, I still wouldn't mind being able to play with more people on games like Destiny 2. So if there was an option like some have suggested here then that would be fine.
