Could you be more specific? I implemented Chrome's Spectre mitigations for WASM and I'm not sure what you are referring to.

These only give you a high-resolution timer mechanism--which you have to build yourself and is possible in JS with SharedArrayBuffer before. So WASM is no worse in this respect.
