NaCl verifier in practice is much simpler than WASM compiler leading to a significantly reduced attack surface.

This is not true. NEXE has different security boundaries enforced differently on each supported platform. You need to write disassembler for each supported instruction set and verify them. This is more complex task than generating correct code from wasm.
