Don't know about GPGPU, but can give you a probably correct answer: Compared to "native" APIs you trade features for compatibility. It's always going to lag behind Vulkan/DX/Metal. Are you ok with excluding platforms? Vulkan/Metal/DX. If not, then I'd give wgpu a chance. Wgpu is also higher-level than Vulkan, which is borh a pro and a con.

Middleware, the portability, latest features of native APIs, and nice GPGPU tooling.
