This looks great! You actually pass conformance? Any plans for WebGL 2, or SwiftShader?

Yes! We pass conformance tests[1] (for the core of WebGL 1 + the extensions that we support).

That said, the Angle version we use is decently old. If we updated it, we would be able to implement WebGL 2 (OpenGL ES 3.0) support. Unfortunately, it's no easy feat to update and integrate the latest Angle, and the project is more-or-less in maintenance mode until someone else comes to take on the task (the project's been revived several times before, so not totally unimaginable!)
