I don't think there is an issue with event loops, underneath its still V8 engine. The real issue is compatibility with existing nodeJS modules

Yup compatibility with node modules would be the issue. I was talking about event loops because the methods dependent on event loop in node might not be same as deno (of which I am not sure of) like process.nextTick or setImmediate. In that case compatibility might be issue. Basically if any underlying core packages change their API or its working its an compatibility issue.
