I wish I could selectively disable only the "paste" events, because it's extremely useful to have "click to copy this value" type of buttons in our various work tools, and I miss the ability to do that every time I try turning off clipboard events to deal with bad actors.

The solution to this is to treat your clipboard as public in the long term. Don't keep sensitive data in it for longer than you need it. KeePass does this and it's great.
Even when your password is erased from the clipboard after 10 seconds, that's enough for any of the tabs open in your browser to steal it.
