WASM is not a substitute for Fil-C.

WASM is not memory safe in the same sense, in particular, heap corruption vulnerabilities still exist, which could eg. allow bypassing auth, leaking private information etc.

C compiled to WASM is still vulnerable to something like OpenSSL Heartbleed. Fil-C (and CHERI) is not.
