It does, but it works best if you compile it yourself, strip the engine down and add your own core game code as c++ classes. Not for everyone, but works good for me as I like c++.

If you wanna go straight to the web, probably start with play canvas or even Defold. Godot works, but if your not a c++ guy or dont want to fork the engine, then your not going to be able to optimize your game as much as I have

Do you know of any examples of doing something more complicated like this with Godot and C++ (past the normal docs)?... I've got some existing C++ game engine stuff I'd like to integrate with Godot for managing rendering side of things.

My colleague made this 3 years ago before we released our first game.

Basically we forked Godot, setup VSCode to compile it, and add new classes to a <repo>/modules/<project_name> folder and it works great. Since this video we've made a suite of macros that allow us to bind variables and methods to the ClassDB in 1 line each. Way nicer than default godot technique for adding new variables/methods.
