WasmGC based Lua implementation?

WasmGC is supported in Safari as of 4 months ago, does anyone know if this makes switching back to the original PUC Lua codebase feasible? If I'm not mistaken this is basically the main reason fengari was written in JS, because you couldn't control the GC
I feel like a PUC Lua + WasmGC codebase would be easier to maintain

In comparison, traditional ports to WasmMVP can be simpler and quicker: for example, you can compile the Lua VM (written in C) to Wasm in just a few minutes. A WasmGC port of Lua, on the other hand, would require more effort as you’d need to write code to lower Lua’s constructs into WasmGC structs and arrays, and you’d need to decide how to actually do that within the specific constraints of the WasmGC type system.
