I really like Exercism! Unfortunately their exercise model is considerably more free-form where it teaches you considerably less and in much larger chunks. I think this is a great model for certain contexts, but the format I have in the repo is more similar to "rustlings" and "ziglings" where you're taught syntax and features alongside the code examples.

I don't know that their Wasm module is necessarily "broken", so I'm unsure whether my contributions would be welcome.

Very fair! It's been close to a decade since I used Exercism so I don't really know what their stuff is like nowadays. From what I remember, the focus was less on teaching you the language directly (via instructions) and was more on encouraging the user to reiterate on their code and experiment, and letting reviewers lead the direction of growth.
