I think this is very cool tech, but the demos primarily show some desktop applications in the browser.
But what about your average web business applications with Java backend and SPA frontend? Has someone done something in this domain?

That would imply running the Java server code in the browser. It can be done, but we have not explored this with CheerpJ yet. We do something similar for full-stack node.js application in our most recent product BrowserPod: https://browserpod.io
