I think with any technology like this, as long as the structure of the wrapper (Electron, in this case) allows for cleanly integrating into lower level components of code, it's fine. The point is that the majority is managed in a lighter-weight accessible language. The majority of the application is still based on web technologies that a larger audience can contribute to. If they need to write something lower level for a core part of the application to achieve performance, I think that's alright.
