I'm looking into client-side syntax highlighting as well at the moment and lezer popped up: https://lezer.codemirror.net/. It's directly based on tree-sitter but tailored to be more web friendly (and written by the same author as codemirror) - https://marijnhaverbeke.nl/blog/lezer.html
I think I'd prefer Lezer in a javascript-only setting. The results are compact and you don't have to deal with WASM.
I've written a small tree-sitter grammar, with off-side rule even, and had a bunch of issues with the javascript bits not being the same version as the WASM bits. I ended up having to get just the right version of emscripten installed (and maybe a few other tools). The process felt a bit fragile to me.
