also within time constraints, building an electron app in the scenario outlined is probably a lot quicker. Normally building something quicker implies that later maintainability is adversely affected, but in this case the tradeoff is not time vs. maintainability, but time vs. performance.

Performance has generally been getting the short end of the stick since early Windows days anyway when Gates had people build not for what a computer could handle when the application was built, but rather what it could handle a year down the road.

But building it in Free Pascal/ Lazarus is (almost?) as portable across systems, probably at least as quick, and comes without all the horrendous overhead bloat.
