Essentials:

Round timer
Name tags on top of players
Player score trackers (probably on the side not to clutter the screen too much)
Player powerup trackers

Optional stuff:

Map name + next map name (for people to prepare)
Some form of event logger (e.g. "Team XXX's bomber has entered the battle!")

Do we use the Bevy native UI?

It's a bit unwieldy and one of the pain points of Bevy as of 0.5, but it's also well documented in the examples.
An alternative could be the egui integration, which is super comfortable to use, but hard to make it look pretty (is this a problem?)
A particular problem I stumbled on was making text live in the world space (as opposed to the UI space) in order to track game elements. This was notoriously difficult back then so I'm hoping it has gotten better.

I have some experience with lower-level text rendering, and I'm currently using egui for an in-house app of ours. I haven't used bevy's built-in stuff but as long as it's relatively easy to draw things on top what's already rendered to the screen, it shouldn't be too difficult.
