Remember that this includes the runtime. It'll hopefully shrink a bit once the wasm gc is stabilised

The RTS is a bit more than the GC though.

Does it really need a GC or is JavaScript engine's GC such a bad fit for Haskell?

I think it depends on how much of the GHC RTS semantics you wish to preserve.
