I wonder if there's a repository which describes "what sites need which JavaScript to not break" so that people could run `NoScripts` but not have to always worry that "My Favourite Site That Uses React" doesn't break unexpectedly; a bit like the TypeScript repositories that let one download TS definitions so you wouldn't have to make them up all by one's self? Or even, the common "virus databases" (after all, the things we want to get rid of with NoScripts are almost virus look, or at least intrusive).
