It's not that unlikely as you might expect.

For now it's quite slow, fast G3's probably would achieve not more than
040 level performance (if at all). But anyway, chances are there that UAE
emulator peformance might boost in future.

Major problem: The emulated hardware has a different address space than
the native OS. Therefore you simply can't run WarpUp software directly on
the host OS, so you can forget this idea for now.
