>But nothing stops JS from loading a bunch of encrypted strings, self-modifying at runtime, using eval+substring (at various offsets) on loaded and renamed functions to make it hard to know if there are calls to other functions, let alone what they are.

There is a solution to that. Control the platforms. You have like what, 4? major vendors of browsers. Convince them to make eval disabled by default and you warp the entire usable market. The percentage of people who would bother to go hunting the setting to turn it on would be minuscule.

Use the power of the default to affect the whole space.
