I’m not sure how to say this but WASM isn’t a cheap way to avoid “needing to” write javascript. You use wasm when you need to optimise a slow core loop (most commonly, bitcoin mining); or when you have an existing codebase you are trying to port.
If starfing with no wasm; and add wasm, you’re adding the complexity of a build targeting an unstable api surface, to create opaque blobs that more likely than not will wind up unmodifiable in 3 years as the build tool chain used to create it bitrots
