It seems to just be more attack surface for very little actual gain on JS. At least with JS I have NoScript, Ublock and some actual say over what loads/runs on my box. For this reason, I usually just disable all wasm/webgl/webrtc until I find out that I actually need it which for me is basically never or only for very short periods.
wasm allow to make sandboxes which are more secure ways to run code;
I’d say that wasm is also useful outside the web because you can use it to allow sandboxing addons for your software

Noscript do block wasm
