Why you choose to base this off of TeX Live 2020? Is that just when you initially started the project, or are there some incompatibilities with the later versions?
Also, we (the TeX Live team) would be happy to add Wasm as an officially-supported platform, it's just that nobody has volunteered yet [0]. Coincidentally, someone else suggested something similar to us a few months ago [1]. Feel free to reach out if you're interested.
The 2020 part isn't really something I chose, it comes with the SwiftLaTeX engine, which ships a precompiled format from that era. I just inherited it with the engine.
The format and packages have to agree, and when I pulled in newer packages against that old format, some things broke (hyperref had changed its aux label format, for which I ended up backporting a padding fix, and babel was missing some aliases in the mismatched version, e.g. brazil-portuges).
And yes, I'd be very happy to help with that and will get in touch via the volunteers page!
