I don't think useJIT means what you want it to mean.  useJIT determines whether JSC is allowed to JIT.  If it's not allowed to JIT, then it's not allowed to wasm.  The only time we set it to false is to simulate environments where we don't have the JIT entitlement, and so cannot JIT at all.

So I think this is wontfix.
