System sandboxing (virtualization) yes. "OS" sandboxing (containers) yes. Process sandboxing yes. None of those need or benefit from webasm.
In-process sandboxing, where wasm competes, is, if anything, the security failure of the past decade. JS in browsers has been a constant, never ending battle. And it just hard-failed thanks to spectre.
The idea of everyone rolling their own, hardened syscall interfaces is a straight up terrible idea if security is your goal.
