Why you choose to base this off of TeX Live 2020? Is that just when you initially started the project, or are there some incompatibilities with the later versions? Also, we (the TeX Live team) would be happy to add Wasm as an officially-supported platform, it's just that nobody has volunteered yet [0]. Coincidentally, someone else suggested something similar to us a few months ago [1]. Feel free to reach out if you're interested.

BTW the LuaTeX source isn't really hidden; there's an unofficial GitHub mirror at https://github.com/TeX-Live/luatex (or look at https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source/tree/trunk/texk/w... specifically) and for their official SVN repository at https://serveur-svn.lri.fr/svn/modhel/luatex the username/password (anonsvn/anonsvn) are listed in a few places (e.g. here: http://www.luatex.org/development.html and in their mailing list announcements).
