My understanding is that to get reasonable WASM file sizes, one must use tinygo (a C reimplementation). tinygo is a WIP, although I wish I could find a better updated description of what's missing than this page on their site: https://tinygo.org/docs/reference/lang-support/

This page[0] seems to have some good information(on stdlib support at least).

As far as file sizes go, you're right. It might be possible to get better results deploying a brotli'd or gzipped file instead[1].
