There's no scenario where a bespoke WASM interpreter is slower than MicroPython - though this isn't really Python.

WASM is an almost "ideal" bytecode target for embedded AOT native compilation as well, though yeah, you'd have to implement all of the backend targets.

maybe if you don't have enough space in flash for both the μpython interpreter and the wasm interpreter? but, yeah, this isn't being compiled to python but to c (for invocation from python)
