>This is especially important given the fact that it is much slower sending wasm over the wire and instantiating the module and the wasm environment vs plain js

You might be surprised. JS is a very slow language to parse. WASM was designed to be parsed quickly. And browsers have implemented streaming compilation for WASM, which means once the last byte comes over the wire, 99% of the work is already done.

Check out js-framework-benchmark[1] startup metrics. The page weight for Yew (another WASM framework) is pretty heavyweight at 300KB, but it has a consistently faster time-to-interactive than vanillajs.
