> Say you want to use WASM...

Using WASM, unless you're doing it for some really good reasons, seems like overkill for essentially a front-end layer. I think of the WebView in a Electron/Tauri app as comparable to the Qt Framework. It's not supposed to do any heavy lifting, and trying to do heavy lifting in JS suggests a mis-architecting of the app.

Using wasm is becoming a very common and practical thing to do, especially with how you can cross compile so much into it.

Unless you're just making blogs and content pages, it's just part of writing web apps now

Only for those with allergy to JavaScript.

It hardly adds anything in performance if there are too many DOM interactions, and if the performance need is due to compute, all modern computers have a GPU.
