Great :)

AIUI, whether an AudioParam is a-rate or k-rate depends on the specification of
each type of AudioNode.  It's actually not clear to me that k-rate AudioParams
make sense in the context of a ScriptProcessorNode.

I'm not intimately familiar with the internals of any of the WebAudio
implementations, but it sounds like your second function prototype wouldn't fit
with the requirement that k-rate samples are taken on a 128 sample block
boundary, given that a ScriptProcessorNode could easily be processing a block
longer than that.
