I'm working on a WASM project[0] with Andy, the stringref champion, and unfortunately the future for stringref is uncertain. There is now a new proposed alternative called "JS string builtins"[1]. The way we intend to ship support for strings currently is to just use JS string builtins, because it is just a set of imported functions, not new instructions. Those imports can either be provided by efficient, native compiled functions (currently behind a V8 feature flag, not sure if other JS engines support it) or from a JS polyfill. It's not an ideal situation but this will allow for shipping strings that work in all browsers with default settings.
