You'll be hopping cell towers, going on to broken wifi networks and half the time things will be very slow or timeout. It strikes me it'll be easier to handle all that in a native app than JS, but feel free to prove me wrong.

You can make a webapp (almost) as server-connected or server disconnected as you like by making the right design decisions along the way.

If you want you could have the only network communication be the initial code/page resource download and the download/upload changeset operations.
