You’re not only sacrificing simplicity for determinism but also stability. What good is being deterministic when the underlying web page keeps changing all the time, breaking your selectors? This seems like a more stable approach.

However if the selectors break you can notice that quite easily.
That’s true. Perhaps using the LLM approach you could extract a deterministic selector, and notify the users if it changes in some meaningful way.
