1. Download via Right click, Save link as.
2. In Blender, open Edit / Preferences.
3. Go to Addons and click "Install...".
4. Find "json_pose_export.py" and click "Install Add-on from File...".
5. Find "Import-Export: Export Pose as JSON" in the list and check it to enable the add on.
Here's a complete example with track and blend file included. To export the poses, use "export JSON pose" in Blender's export menu and then copy the resulting file into the frills.js file after the "Begin pose exported from flagger.blend" comment.
Any limit/goal you have in mind for bone count, and animation length?

No limit for the length. The bone count limit is set to 32, but there's currently a bug with more than 16 which could crash the game. I forgot to update a buffer for the larger size. It'll be fixed in the next snapshot.

Finally got around to trying this script out. Works great! I had modified the code to interpolate between keyframes to smooth the motion out, but I had other incomplete stuff in the script, so I didn't apply it to this trial.

Those are the sickest dance moves I have ever seen.

Good eye on the interpolation. I was planning on that myself but figured it didn't look that choppy and I really wanted to get this posted.

That script x20 flaggers in a national track, will make the fps drop down a bit? Or it's something that it's well optimized?

I wouldn't think the animation part would add too much. The model itself would just need to be optimised with lods like you wouldn't any other model. If the animation did have any impact, you could easily halt the animation based on flagger distance from the camera

Since it's interpreted code it's not optimal by definition, but it should be fast enough as long as it's not animating hundreds of objects. If it turns into a problem it'll be possible to just pose objects less often or based on distance like DJ said.

Made some updates to the flaggertest example. Now has a starter and uses the new pose sequence cache. Already posted most of this in the snapshot topic but I've cleaned it up a bit since then.
