Re:Google Docs will now use canvas based rendering by jd3 on Wednesday May 12, 2021 @06:02PM (#27135698)
I recently wrote a somewhat performant react-virtualized[0] list for a project at work, though it's definitely a bit trickier in plain HTML/JS.

As far as the XUL virtualized tree goes, a couple of Mozilla engineers wrote some examples using plain html/javascript + DOM node manipulation[1]. While promising, I can't imagine that this implementation could ever be as fast as the compiled C++ one[2].
