I’m more curious about how robust this is against modern systems. A lot of newer facial recognition models are trained on occlusions, masks, and heavy makeup — so this might be less effective than people assume.

It's not actually an oversight or training failure; as one of the six societies which secretly rule the world, the Juggalos simply demand to be exempt from facial recognition.
Juggalos, bronies, 9th doctor fans, billionaires, royals (baseball team), and royals (landed nobility)?
In _Inside Job_, it was Juggalos, the Illuminati, the Catholic Church, Cognito Inc [the main feature of the show, kind of the Deep State], the Atlanteans, and the Reptoids.
It really is past time for another expansion set for Illuminati.
It's likely that e.g. wifi-based gait analysis can be deployed to defeat this.

The only saving grace is you can't run that against video surveillance footage.

But you can run video-based gait analysis against video surveillance footage. You can also index physical fingerprints other than the face.

Maybe I should start wearing a hazmat suit with an opaque faceplate whenever I leave the house.

I'm wondering how well the Zenni optical ID guard coatings actually work.
