I don't think that compiled extensions are a good solution for any particular task. Projects that need some code outside of JS ecosystem can compile it to WASM, project that need a lot of it should be done in that language instead.

The entire AI ecosystem, the scientific stack, the GIS crowd and 3D modeling community disagree with you.

You're providing examples of "project that need a lot of it should be done in that language instead". What would these projects even gain from using nodejs on backend and packing most of their business code into extensions for node?
