I looked a little closer, and there definitely are paths that are focused on being able to be called off main thread. That's actually a property I wish more of our code had - so you should support that (which means at a minimum you need a c++ bit to shuffle stuff onto the main thread where you can deal with it in JS.. but that will hurt your latency because the main thread gets backed up from time to time.)
