I've worked on projects with hundreds of thousands of LOC compiling with Webpack. Build time has literally never been a concern for me. The entire point of tooling like Webpack is that it's written in JS because dealing with interop between native binaries is an absolute nightmare. It's a feature, not a bug. The same reason we moved to JS based SASS/PostCSS compilers.
