Having micro-optimized and maintained JS code over years and dozens of browser versions, I cannot echo this enough. Tuning JS both the in face of fickleness of VM quirks and data/context is a losing proposition for all but the most speed- and core-functionality-critical code.

The point of rust+wasm benchmarks is that one can write reasonable, maintainable, functionality-focused code (not to mention all the rust-specific benefits) and get good performance out of the box.
