V8JS for PHP is a PHP7+ extensions, using this in Wikibase would require WMF production to be on PHP7, see T176370: Migrate to PHP 7 in WMF production.
Then we would also have to raise the question to #operations #security and probably #performance to see if the V8JS https://pecl.php.net/package/v8js could be installed on the mediawiki hosts.
It's also possible that this need not be run on all hosts, and instead of splitting of our own node service we could run our own mediawiki endpoint on some service allowing SSR from PHP using V8JS (but thats really trying to think around the problem)
The V8JS pecl package is listed as stable and apparently has been since version 0.3.0 released back in 2015.
The package is now at version 2.1.0 released in Jan 2018.
There are various blog posts about using V8JS for SSR in PHP:

- http://www.beingyesterday.com/server-side-rendering-with-phpv8-v8js-on-ubuntu/
This is something that we could test with our current code.
