I think there is a tiny bit of extra salt and pepper we can add for info density…

1. I think headers can be the same size as items, they are bolded which is enough to call them out

2. I think the distance between sections can be narrowd a bit

3. I think that maybe there is room to reduce 1px or margin between items?

Overall I think the change is good, but some minor adjustment may help here, cause the downside is sidebar scrolling if we leave too much breathing room.
