Wasm execution doesn’t exist in the abstract. Lucet, the vm in question, does no theoretical instruction-level mitigations of which you speak. It does, however, expose a larger attack surface than simply using seccomp (not seccomp-bpf).

By definition a WASM runtime running within seccomp does not increase the attack surface. That's in fact the whole point of layering such systems. I'm not exactly sure what your point is or why you're talking about seccomp-bpf here.
