James makes a bunch of great points. I've never been in love with the web streams API. I'm more a proponent of the idea that we should have a streams standard for JS that can be used everywhere. I don't want to write bespoke streaming code that works only in one JS runtime. I was hoping "web streams" would be it, but as @jasnell says all the major JS runtimes have had to work around various issues in the spec so it def has issues.
