Reimplementing the Emacs Lisp manual piece-by-piece in eww doesn't sound
like a very promising path, I think?  And for live data on things, `M-x
list-timers' is always going to be better than HTML.

The long-term goal is to have the TeXinfo target HTML instead of Info,
so the lispref manual will end up being HTML.
