Yes. Why not? HTML/CSS great (from the development POV) for UI, and I can always write the performance critical code in C and linked them to the electron HTML/CSS frontend.

Presumably, if copying some data between JavaScript and native code in a slightly roundabout way was an issue, you wouldn't run things through web technology in the first place…

If you pass data with ArrayBuffer it's non-copying, so even large data is fine.
