Maintaining the fork isn't so bad, the core chromium changes are only a few hundred lines and I was able to extend already existing concept like debugger pausing and virtualtime emulation while riding off mojo IPC for cross thread communications.

That's actually super smart. If you're just piggybacking on native debugger pauses and Mojo IPC instead of hardcoding custom locks into V8, the patchset is genuinely microscopic. I take back the meat grinder comment - with a diff that clean, automated rebases across major Chrome releases are actually totally manageable. Hats off!
