This seems like the kind of thing that won't require any resources to maintain, other than possible bugfixes (which 3rd parties can provide). It only requires parsing and DOM manipulation, so it doesn't really require any features of JS or WASM that would be deprecated in the future, and the XSLT standard that is supported by browsers is frozen - they won't ever have to dedicate resources to adding any additional features.
That is an interesting approach, you could suggest it? In general using JS to implement web APIs is very difficult, but using WASM might work especially for the way XSLTProcessor works today.
