For horizontal bar charts with long category labels the labels themselves tend to take up most of the available chart space as shown below:

A solution is to create sub-plots within the main plot for each bar:

The implementation outlined in https://dkane.net/2020/better-horizontal-bar-charts-with-plotly/ uses Plotly Express (Python) and the useful helper functions for creating subplots are not available in Plotly.Js.

Some relevant resources for implementing the same thing in Plotly.JS are here:
