Something like here: https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.markercluster More:

https://github.com/mapbox/supercluster
comparison of different ideas: https://carto.com/blog/stacking-chips-a-map-hack/

N.B. IITC had own 'clustering' code before: https://github.com/iitc-project/ingress-intel-total-conversion/issues/774

If implementing this, be careful with how aggressively the points are clustered. A lot of maps with this feature cluster too aggressively, obscuring the data the map is supposed to display, and it's even less useful than a giant mess of dots.

Maybe make the clustering range/strength tunable?
