Ok, so you want to disable tracking and ads.

Why does that necessitate disabling all JS? You can enjoy the performance of an SPA while selectively disabling tracking.

Sadly, it's not often that simple. Giving amazon.com permissions to JS should be enough, but it requires media. or ssl-images to get basic functions to work.

Then there's the issue of [randomstring].clouldfront.com - what does this script do? Do I need it?

Often finding the right combination of scripts to enable to get one piece of functionality to work makes the whole experience painful and frustrating, often I just forget what I was trying to do and go elsewhere.
