There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm going to approve it............ It reminded me of a similar issue I had with the counties. In that case, using a lighter shapefile solved the problem.
Later I'll try to explore a possible solution using shapefiles from Natural Earth (https://www.naturalearthdata.com/). However, I'd need to check how switching datasets would affect the shapefile's internal definitions (IDs, attributes, etc.).
For example, the Natural Earth states/provinces shapefile is about 14 MB:
https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-cultural-vectors/10m-admin-1-states-provinces/
whereas the FAO version is around 200 MB.

This works ok as long as the level 1 admin is not involved. If it is, the app just works on it forever. I am creating a PR nonetheless because I am not sure I will have time to get back to it. Simplify didn't help and actually made things worse. So possibly the solution is to find another source that is smaller.
