WASM is still fairly niche, some immediate/near term use cases might be: advanced animation (beyond CSS), 3D/VR, low-latency / low level work e.g. webUSB. MAYBE some very forward looking web-apps/hybrid apps.

There's no disputing that v8 has come a long way, so likely it's not going to be that much of a perf gain, more interesting to me is bringing more advanced languages (such as Rust) into play, great and all as TypeScript is.
