Interesting. He says it's stable for production in the video but isn't so assertive in his webpage: http://akrl.sdf.org/gccemacs.html

I've never looked into elisp's bytecode, there's a project to document it here: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso

This talk advocates the rarely discussed view that Emacs Lisp is good, actually, and that Emacs should be written in Emacs Lisp. Threading, compilation, and addressing Emacs' other low-level deficiencies will be covered, with an eye toward a practical way to roll out the changes.

Maybe it is time to rewrite Emacs in Smalltalk.

This might sound petty but a big reason I couldn't get into Smalltalk was that none of the mainstream Smalltalk systems allowed me to get Emacs keybindings in the IDE.
(I could, of course, stick to GNU Emacs and use GNU Smalltalk but that's not in the spirit of Smalltalk.)
