Apologies, Professor, I missed your reply!
SharedArrayBuffer makes communication between schedulers essentially equivalent to non-browser environments, but support for it is still iffy at best due to Spectre. Luckily, that is a temporary problem, not a fundamental issue (SharedArrayBuffer being disabled that is, not Spectre).
In a single-threaded setting, there isn't any significant overhead that I'm aware of between a browser and non-browser environment, aside from any overhead potentially incurred by executing on the WebAssembly VM rather than directly on the host machine. Of course, running single-threaded is less than ideal for other reasons.
