There was some discussion of SAB with streams previously here: https://github.com/whatwg/streams/issues/495#issuecomment-284083329

It seems likely that we will add a way to use a SAB without transferring. Unfortunately it doesn't look like we will get the nice memory protection semantics that would let us avoid data races. I'm not concerned about exposing data races to wasm, since C++ programmers already live in a world of races. I feel it's unfortunate to expose it to Javascript.
