So sort of an intermediary between how the internet works these days, and how it should work in IPFS view.

Does the "deliverying JS to browser" thing that I described make sense at all?

There is already a Javascript implementation [1], but it is not feasible to setup a full IPFS node in every browser tab that loads an IPFS resource. Instead you can use ipfs-companion [2], a browser extension that lets you easily load IPFS resources in your browser. While it can use the Javascript implementation, this is not recommended as it is currently pretty resource heavy [3].

There's work on running the IPFS protocol over WebRTC, so yes, it makes sense and is another way of enabling normal browsers to access it.
