JS is usually fast enough.
It really depends. If you aren't careful, your Wasm blob can end up ballooning in size. If you start pulling in libraries and doing things like parsing JSON, your binary can get big, quick.
Wasm adds an extra layer of complexity that needs to be justified. In most cases, it's just not worth it.
