I wonder if repl.it ever did this, or if they've always used WebAssembly? (They definitely use wasm now.)

Nope, every repl is running in a docker container on a GCP vm, with various other security measures. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19215175

I believe the very first version of replit was all in-browser, but no longer

Wow, that's a change. I remember using replit with Python compiled to wasm. It was neat for a few seconds.
