Yes, porting https://SageMath.org to the browser is part of the plan, and this is a key foundation for that. I ported some of the components of Sage (e.g., https://libntl.org/) already as part of https://github.com/sagemathinc/jsage, and I don't see any fundamental obstruction to porting all of Sage, except time. It would be great if once CoWasm is more stable, I can get some help porting some components to WASM.
In CoWasm: An alternative to Emscripten, based on Zig (demo: Python in the browser)
Python does, via pypy [1], which has very impressive performance and Python3 support. However, there are some subtle drawbacks, e.g., building from source takes hours instead of seconds (like CPython), and C extensions are slower. Still, the performance of pypy on a wide range of pure Python microbenchmarks is extremely impressive, and comparable to V8 (I've been collecting such benchmarks at [2] lately).
