I think we're talking past each other.
My point is that writing custom UI renderers using canvas and WASM might become a reasonable thing to do. For that you don't need to stick to the web stack at all, you can invent whatever language, API and data model fits your needs. Those can be a lot simpler than the DOM and therefore easier to implement with good performance.
