For background https://kripken.github.io/blog/wasm/2019/07/16/asyncify.html covers the benefits and limitations. The limitations there are hard to avoid in the current runtime but we should expand on the reasoning here.

The limitations around this approach in the browser scenario make it unsuitable for a general sync over Promise solution.
