The examples discussed seem to assume a dynamic site where you load the images (and the blurha placeholder) from a database, but how easy would this be to use for a static site with large images, perhaps embedding the blurha directly in the HTML?

You could put the hash in a custom HTML attribute, and have the JS load it from there.

<canvas width="100px" height="100px" imgsrc="hirez.jpg" blurhash="abcd..." />

Should work fine, if you integrate it into your toolchain somehow.
