What do you mean by "reliable"? Doing work on the main thread is itself
inherently not reliable.

What are you proposing to do to work around the throttling that browsers
impose on background tabs? Generally we want to be able to prevent
background tabs from hogging the main thread. We would rather not add new
features (like main-thread audio callbacks) that background tabs can use to
accidentally or deliberately hog the main thread.
