...except the non-deterministic parallelism that this offers.
That's the thing. Smalltalk is historically extremely bad at utilizing multiple cores (not because it can't be done, but because no one has - multiple people have thought that an actor-oriented VM might be a good fit). This utilized multiple cores by embracing non-determinism. No other Smalltalk VM offers that.
