In the Tokio runtime and elsewhere, it is useful to eagerly initialize thread-local resources (signal handlers etc) to avoid taking a runtime hit after a service is started.

This could probably be a bit simpler with
if initialized { return }and thenp.set((state, true))afterwards

As a suggestion for a doc block here:
Eagerly initialize thread-local functionality shared by all [
Engine]s.Wasmtime's implementation on some platforms may involve per-thread setup that needs to happen whenever WebAssembly is invoked. This setup can take on the order of a few hundred microseconds, whereas the overhead of calling WebAssembly is otherwise on the order of a few nanoseconds. This setup cost is paid once per-OS-thread. If your application is sensitive to the latencies of WebAssembly function calls, even those that happen first on a thread, then this function can be used to improve the consistency of each call into WebAssembly by explicitly frontloading the cost of the one-time setup per-thread.
Note that this function is not required to be called in any embedding. Wasmtime will automatically initialize thread-local-state as necessary on calls into WebAssembly. This is provided for use cases where the latency of WebAssembly calls are extra-important, which is not necessarily true of all embeddings.
