Not to be too dismissive of this, but for companies trying to just run a service and getting constantly bombarded by stuff like DDoS issues, Cloudflare and its ilk lets them service a large portion of "legitimate" users, compared to none.
I don't really know how you resolve that absent just like... putting everything behind logins, though.
What you're describing is solved by caching, not requiring JS crap.
So give me xxx minute old stale cached version. I'm fine with that.
Until you get misbehaving users crawling every page.
Rate limiting works, and isn't discriminatory against "non-standard" clients.
