As someone who has JS off by default for a long time (ever since I discovered how much it could remove annoyances, and this was back when SPAs were basically nonexistent) and is thus often subjected to "Please enable JS" messages which more likely than not will simply make me click the back button[1], I am delighted to see this exists --- I've thought of the idea before, but never did anything with it:

[1] I once enabled JS on a site that claimed it would provide "a better experience", and was bombarded with a bunch of ads and other irritations that just made me turn it off again. It was not a "better experience".

As someone who has JS off by default (via uMatrix) I see a blank page.

Does uMatrix still exist (maintained)? I remember reading it is being discontinued.

(I occasionally used it for curiosity, but found it too tedious in the long term. I have settled on CookieAutoDelete, which seem to address most tracking. Not many seem to run a completely server based fingerprint database.)

It is not maintained but the latest version[1] still works fine, and I will continue to run it until that is no longer the case.

[1] A beta that you can download from the github page. I assume the latest stable version also works fine, but the beta had a few additional bugfixes and features and I haven't encountered any instability.
