I'd been hoping projects like wasmtime could end up looking like a Docker alternative for server side things. Do you think that's unlikely to pan out without a lot more work that doesn't seem to be happening?
A lot of those are powered by wasmtime or WasmEdge.
If you’re wanting to be able to just pull down a random app and run it as wasm, that’s inherently harder with wasm, because you have to recompile, and amazing compiling stuff is always harder than it should be. For example I compiled jq to wasm to other day, so you dont have to worry (as much) about the CVEs that was issued recently. https://github.com/rockwotj/jq-wasi

You can run wasm in k8s: https://krustlet.dev/
Docker itself can run wasm: https://wasmlabs.dev/articles/docker-without-containers/
There are a few serverless runtimes based on wasm: https://wasmcloud.com/
