Thanks! As I see you've already started, going through the issues tagged with 'embind' is great.
A larger important thing, if you have time, is async wasm compilation - we disable async compilation in emcc.py when embind is on currently, but should remove that (without async, it won't work in all browsers, so basically embind is not compatible with wasm due to this). To test, see for example binaryen2.test_embind. (I suspect the issue here is something in the embind setup is not ok with startup being async, there may be some synchronous operation that assumes the compiled code is ready immediately.)
