I wonder what will be the benefit of kotlin WASM on the server compared to JVM? Is it mostly for serverless offerings?

Scale to zero capabilities indeed, but much more like access to the upcoming ecosystem of polyglot components, faster builds, capability to deploy on the edge, and much more. I wrote a related blog posts if you are interested: https://seb.deleuze.fr/the-huge-potential-of-kotlin-wasm/

If you'd ask me, serverless is one of its biggest promises. Another feature I'm looking foward to is Interface Types, so e.g. use Rust libraries with its performance and security benefits in your Kotlin project
