So the technology to defeat this kind of obfuscation has already been developed and is reliable?

Well a web browser has to render it correctly, so yes? A screen reader is just another type of browser at this point.

These techniques work because some blockers only support a limited subset of what a full browser can do (namely block resource locations and specific HTML elements).

And rather insignificant to implement. All this protects against is low-effort document scraping. If they randomized it somehow, that would be a little harder to defeat.
