I suspect it means that WP will be turned into a gigantic back-end

snippets that issue requests to the back-end.
That kind of sounds like AJAX.
That suggests the entire Admin portal will be quite transformed (it
should be anyway, as it depends on so many screen reloads to update
stuff).
I’m not sure how the public view of the sites it generates would be
affected, but take a look at other dynamic sites that are using lots
of js to create what the user ultimately sees. In particular, run a
Google query and then look at the page source and consider how you
might parse it to pick out the various screen elements. They used to
spit out a very nicely structured HTML page. Now it’s a horrible
mess because Google has bent over backwards to make the content
generation as hard to scrape as possible. I don’t know if WP would
do that, but some users might want to make it hard for bots to scrape
their sites, so why not?

As for JS I assume that mean most of the processing has to be done
in the browser which means everything needs to travel from the
server to the browser?
Am I right on this? If I am that does not sound good.
