I didn't plan explicitly for SLIME, but loading swank shouldn't be much of a problem. The missing piece would be a bridge between a websocket and tcp I think.
I recently shared a project I did using Hoot, by Spritely institute.
It's Guile Scheme compiling to WASM, and it works really well!

Hey, nice to see Ymacs is still used somewhere else than on my website :)
I don't know if you've been tracking it lately, but there was a big overhaul last year [1]. The version in your second link doesn't seem to work in current Firefox. If you'd like to update and need any help, please feel free to get in touch. (also, there's still some of your code in Ymacs :) although I kinda broke filename completion...)
This is another comment of the author about maxima in the browser from four months ago: I'm experimenting with WASI and the GC extension for WASM, but that's months from today if we speak about complete port (given my time capacity at the moment). Don't know if the gc extension is used in this example.
It depends of what you need, but for example for calculus is a nice program. There is also sympy and Wolfram Mathematica. For symbolic computation I think that Mathematica is the strongest then maxima and then sympy, but sympy is based on python and I think it will get stronger. If you need numerical computation then there is octave or matlab or julia.
Why was LISP not one of the first languages able to compile to WASM? I've been curious ever since the awesome WASM project started tracking different projects. They use emojis for progress and LISP has been a hatching egg.
Do you know why only sorta? My understanding is that only toy implementations exist right now but nothing production ready. I'm poking around Google and GitHub and not finding any new information.

I did find this on the Femto GitHub and got a chuckle. Yes, dear author, that is exactly the piece of information I want explained. Too funny.

The work will go towards improving browser integration and porting to WASI.

1. lack of native GC, you had to roll your own by providing a runtime.
2. lack of tail-call elimination in V1 of the spec. This essentially forces you to trampoline everything.
But lisp doesn't need TCO.
