Good example!
I was trying to use A-frame a bit back, another contender. https://aframe.io/ Somewhat ashamed to admit, I fell on my face a couple times trying to get the legacy cjs modules building with a couple toolchains & put my 3d web projects back in deep-freeze. https://github.com/aframevr/aframe/issues/3732
But representing the DOM etc inside a 3D space is useful so you don't loose access to the world of 2D information. However there are no good solutions to this at present the Immersive Web Workgroup in W3C are looking at Layers or DOM Overlay which is for AR modes but might support 2D navigation but it seems low down on the priority list due to CORS and other security challenges.

This reminds me of react-three-fiber[1], which is built on top of Three.js.
react-three-fiber is a really nice way to build 3-d scenes on the web for those of us who aren't skilled in graphics and GPU programming.
Looks like Three.js supports WebGPU rendering now. Naively, I wonder how performance differs between UseGPU and R3F with Three's WebGPU renderer.

Shameless plug - I wrote sdf-csg[1] as an attempt to have that cake and eat it too. Basically, build things out of SDFs, then create meshes out of them for efficient rendering.
