But it seems like a great space for UA innovation -- to analyze if the page would scale appropriately even in the absence of an explicit `text-scale`. That would be great. (Let me know if I've understood that correctly.)

No we hadn't discussed that, but it sounds interesting. I'm sceptical about whether it's possible because of how unpredictable the existing text scaling is with `text-size-adjust: auto`; some areas of text grow while others don't and it's not clear to the author when it will happen. But if a UA is able to make that work, I'd be all for it!
