Performance does no longer matter much (unless you're Amazon - or
google) - because servers are so cheap compared to development time -
and they will be even cheaper tomorrow.

Benefits of JS target:
 - never think about memory
 - interface to existing code more easily (?)
 - existing hosting services (heroku)

You already said that you don't want to target the masses. Having some
more users helping testing would be fine though :)
 
Writing tutorials is probably more important right now than having
NodeJS support. If there are enough skilled users someone will pick it
up and implement it anyway (?)
