Well, ultimately if Google decides that Chrome won't support WASM anymore than it's over, same as Apple decided that Flash is over (or Google decided that NaCl would be over and they put their effort into supporting WASM instead).
But:
WebGL1 is much more niche than WASM and it's still around and well supported after 12 years.
WASM was announced in 2015 and released in 2017, so it's also not exactly "new" anymore.
WASM is such a small part of browsers (for instance compared to a JS engine) that dropping it would really not be worth it. It just delivers too much bang for the buck.
