Given your explanation it also seems to me that going for option 2 as
we develop the API seems like the most sensible choice. It seems to me
a good way of figuring out if it's going to be enough for advanced
users would be to see how you'd implement all the DOM API usages in
Epiphany with 2 (or 3, if it comes to that). If you can do all that
without having to expose the entire thing I'd feel confident about us
being able to cover most advanced use cases.

I'm particularly curious about whether it would be possible to deliver
a simple extension mechanism that does not require exposing vast
amounts of extra API that will be rarely used. Perhaps as you suggest
using the C-API when possible would be the best choice.
