It sounds interesting, but its still just moving the problem surface elsewhere.

Bringing model definition and usage closer to the storage layer thereby reducing the need for translation and transport might cut down on the need for repeated and variant definitions across layers but it doesn't remove the other issues related to data storage.

There will need to be a system for storage and that will have to deal with transactional state management as well as consistency schemes, having that in an actor layer that is shared with other parts of the system might solve some issues, but it'd need to be really carefully managed so as not to inflict the solutions to those problems on the other parts of the system using the same transport mechanisms.

i dislike javascript with a passion but I'd be down for using a wasm based system that does what you say, my skepticism is usually just me shouting at clouds so it'd be interesting to see a working model.
