Is this a modern version of CGI with process isolation?

It's rather something that sits between WebAssembly and containers, combining the sandboxing guarantees of the former with the performance of the latter. From a security perspective, the composition is also really good (WebAssembly enforces memory limits, but doesn't have memory protection, NULL pointers are writable, etc. and this is solved here). But unlike WebAssembly, it is Linux-only. So, not something that can run in Web browsers.
