It is definitely worth trying as an experiment, but the discussion around wasmjit doesn't seem like it's a research project. Its worth noting that this has in many senses already been extensively research. This was a significant part of the design of Singularity OS, a micro kernel from Microsoft Research with software isolation between components (with much more formal sandboxing than wasmjit, verified with static analysis). Also there have been several operating systems with a JVM in the kernel over the last 2 decades with many of the same benefits.
