Clients are intentionally writing JavaScript against (a subset of) the Service Worker API; so you will have to spawn a V8 process & context anyway.
V8 isolates are the same separation as browser tabs, and thus are also designed to be initialized extremely quickly. I’d be surprised if spawning a new process is faster, and it’s not going to be faster if your goal is to run JS/WASM.
