Is this tech a reasonable way for cross-platform emulation, e.g. a x86 VM running on a browser on ARM hardware like the new Apple chips?

In essence, for this approach, would the x86-on-x86 performance hit be similar or very different than the x86-on-ARM performance hit?

The actual host hardware does not matter, neither in terms of support or performance, theoretically. We currently optimize the codegen for Chrome/V8 on x86.
