Not to take away from the authors' work, but this was actually the approach taken by some engineers while Spectre / Meltdown were still under embargo. Not sure if they ever mentioned their work publicly so I will avoid naming them, but some talented folks from Microsoft who basically came to the same conclusion that a specialized environment free of noise was necessary both to test mitigations and find variants.
