This scares me. Lua is already pretty niche, they customized it, and it's getting transpiled to js or wasm. There are too many places for that to go wrong, problems will be hard to investigate, and it's added ramp-up time for new hires.

In general, any time you venture away from a platform's default language (Objective C, Swift, Java, Kotlin, JS), things get significantly more complicated.

If there's any language where that ramp-up time might not even be a problem, it's Lua.
