The big advantage of Brython is that it has a very fast workflow, much like JavaScript. A server-side compiler approach would have a slower interactive workflow

  That's true, but you could probably get it to load & reparse the files off disk every request and serve the JS dynamically. If you've ever used Django or AppEngine, you just edit your templates and source files, you don't have to do a manual compile & load style every time you change things. There's no reason you couldn't set your PyJS serving URL to do the same. In terms of absolute CPU cycles burned, it's actually faster that way, since parsing happens in C using Python's built-in facilities, and the amount of JS shipped to the browser is less.
