This is awesome, now if they switch to a JS engine that isn't slow and buggy on my laptop I have 0 reasons to use anything chromium-based anymore

I would much prefer they not become more chromified than they switching to chrome's JS engine.

I'm not saying they should switch to v8. Ideally they'd make their own performant JS engine but I doubt they actually have the resources for that. I'm just wishing for a browser that's actually good on all fronts even though it realistically cannot exist
