How close are the different compiler platforms (jvm, js, and native) to sharing the same backend? I feel like this may have been done a while ago, but I haven’t heard anything.

They do not share the same backend. They share the code. On 1.4 they will also share intermediate representation of that code (probably).

Work on IR BE in JS compiler is pretty close to completion, JVM compiler is in progress, and significant percentage of tests passes as well. No ETA on when it will be production solution for anything, but Native.
