With WebGPU it will be faster - libraries like ThreeJS will use WebGPU when possible.

ThreeJS doesn't even has a good alternative to having a complete incompatible shading language, other than switching to graphical based shaders.

Do you expect everyone to rewrite 10 years of shaders just for fun?
