With respect, I think there's still some misunderstanding of the proposed approach. There are some obvious classes of application where this model doesn't really work, but IMO a lot of those don't work well with Swing/FX either. Likewise, manipulating massive data models in a browser might be problematic. But a HTML renderer should in theory be able to easily render as much on screen as Swing can do. The important thing is keeping data models, etc. in Java and only asking the HTML layer to render what is immediately required.
