After looking for something similar I have been playing Hedgewars https://www.hedgewars.org/ which is Hogs instead of Worms, an interesting code base and play mode addons based on Lua. Not looking back to Worms. There's a nice European userbase and if you tune in at hedgehog hour (8pm time in CEST/CET) you'll have some fine company. My favourite mod is Monarchy: https://www.hedgewars.org/node/6718#comment-34937 .
hedgewars is awesome. lived with 3 friends and installed this on our beamer in the living room. Competition is fierce still, in 5+ years nobody would even change team once. we lost track of score 3 years into the competition tho.

We used to play 2-player liero over the school LAN. It was great because it'd fit a 3.5" floppy disk and was totally portable. It's real time worms, and apparently inspired Noita. Though reading up apparently it didn't have LAN play, so maybe we just did splitscreen? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liero

What does "beamer" in this context mean? Where I'm from it is slang for a BMW car, which I'm guessing you don't have in your living room.
Do you think anyone will write a web-based version of Worms? Multiplayer, in the browser. It seems like it would be hugely popular. You could even turn websites themselves into arenas to battle in. :) Imagine blowing up a hacker news comment.
That would be fun. There's actually a Worms Armageddon inspired web game written in Rust: https://cratebeforeattack.com/

Do you know who to ask about the voice lines and voice actors? Worms 2 introduced the "Danish Pyrus" voice bank, and it might have been voiced by Jan Linnebjerg, who played Pyrus, but it isn't written down anywhere in the manual or credits.
Sadly our communication with Team17 is very limited, so we've had little insight regarding the game development that's not already public knowledge. Sorry.
