Unfortunately, there is not support for this both in D7 and Backdrop. I see a contrib module in D7 called Webform HTML Textarea, but it uses WYSIWYG (instead of CKEditor) and has not been ported to Backdrop.
I have just ported this, works beautifully. How can I send it to you for testing/inclusion in Contrib?
Congratulations @onyx on your first port. Go to https://github.com/backdrop-ops/contrib, read the guidance, go to issues and click on 'New issue' in that repository selecting 'Application to join the contrib group'. You'll need to include a link to the repo in your github profile so someone can check that it meets all the requirements.
Hello,
I don't know of a way for ckeditor to run on the webform textareas, but for many years instead of ckeditor I have been using BUEditor for editing text areas - not only for text areas in webforms, but everywhere where at least some HTML / Javascript is allowed. As for me BUEditor makes writing code easy, and with skillful configuration can be a WYSIWYG replacement not only for admins but even for casual site users who are not expected to know how to write HTML code.

BUEditor is fully customizable, you can create a variety of user profiles (which are also easily exported from one website and moved to another) and I find it very useful and it works even without any WYSIWYG editor.
