So if I understand the proposal correctly:

After .open has been called with async=false:
* setting .responseType to anything other than "" throws InvalidAccessError
* setting .wirthCredentials to true throws InvalidAccessError

Additionally, when calling .open with async=false, throw
InvalidAccessError if .responseType is set to anything other than ""
or .withCredentials is true.

If that's the proposal, then this sounds good to me.
