As foundation for a large text editor web app, would WebGPU be quicker than the 2DContext in HTML Canvas?

There are a number of ways of creating a text editor in a web app:
1) using contenteditable
2) using hidden text area (e.g. as seen with the Visual Studio Code's
Monaco text editor)

3) using HTML Canvas

It seems for the larger text editor projects there is a trend to using the
HTML Canvas-approach, mostly using the 2D Context with some use of WebGL.
Here are some examples:

Visual Studio Code's use of canvas for the integrated terminal is described
here:

The Register here writes about Google moving its editors to Canvas:

Also Y Combinator has a very interesting thread discussing this:

In particular in the Y Combinator discussion I note Microsoft's Tyiar
states:
-----------------
"I wrote the terminal canvas renderers in VS Code that has been called out
a few times here. Initially I implemented a canvas renderer using just a 2d
context to draw many textures which sped things up "5 to 45 times"[1] over
the older DOM renderer.
Since then I moved onto a WebGL renderer[2] which was mostly a personal
project, it's basically the first canvas renderer but better in every way
since it works by organizing a typed array (very fast) and sending it to
the GPU in one go, as opposed to piece meal and having the browser do its
best to optimize/reduce calls. This was measured to improve performance by
up to 900% in some cases over the canvas renderer"
----------------

I suspect WebGPU will be faster than WebGL, so my question is, would a text
editor based on WebGPU be the absolutely fastest way of delivering a modern
text editing experience in a web browser/PWA app?

Anyone got thoughts if this would be the case or real world (prototype)
experience of this?
