Not OP, but as a fellow Lisp-on-wasm developer one problem is that the current release doesn't support tail call elimination. There's a proposal for it (a tail_call instruction), and Chrome has implemented it, but the Firefox/Spidermonkey team hasn't prioritized it, so it's sat for a couple years. At least two implementations (maybe two browser implementations? I don't recall) are needed for standardization, so things remain.

You know, I wonder how seriously I could be taken if I duck-taped a wasm-capable browser together out of Servo and Wasmtime to make a second implementation and push it forwards...
