WebKit already has a more lazy JIT strategy. From the article being discussed:
"WebKit’s WebAssembly implementation, like our JavaScript implementation, uses a tiering system to balance startup costs with throughput. Currently, there are two tiers to the engine: the Build Bytecode Quickly (BBQ) tier and the Optimized Machine-code Generator (OMG) tier. Both rely on the B3 JIT as their low-level optimizer."
