The security risks aren't worth it for me, which is a shame.

In theory someone could take nvim, compile it into WASM, and make a version that'll work without interacting with any native binaries (at the cost of some performance and nvim functionality, of course). The only big downside is that you'd lose the integration with the nvim config in your home directory, but perhaps some kind of filesystem API can help with that.
