I think the way to solve this is to first get Electron packaged for Debian, and then package Delta-chat linked with it. I highly suspect that issues upstream experience with linking against Electron are different from the issues that may or may not be with doing linking with Debian-packaged Electron, because of the fundamentally different packaging approaches. I.e. distributing Electron with npm would mean either triggering a gigantic compilation process or shipping pre-compiled binary code which may or may not be usable on the target hardware architecture. Effort of packaging Electron is tracked at https://bugs.debian.org/842420 and (as also referenced in that bugreport) the underlying dependency tree is mapped out at https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/electron I propose that you ask at that bugreport how you can help.
