Hey Kyle, are you working with Matt McCormick?

When we were WebAssembling VTK last year, they chose to strip disable
rendering, one reason being that we already have good support for rendering
on the web via vtk.js.

I also believe that we dropped ES2 support a release or two ago. Ken Martin
can confirm that.
