It's worth mentioning that AMP intentionally adds an 8-second blank page delay if you are blocking Google's third-party js.

Yeah. If you block all js, the blank doesnt occur. It's just when you block google js.

It also creates blank layers above the actual content.

have noticed this with a growing number of websites; they load fine/fast if you block .js but show a paywall/annoyification when .js is enabled... "if you insist"

I think that was intentional malice designed to get some high-bounce rates for non-amp to have something to point at for publisher. See, over there - w/o AMP you have ScArY nUmBeRs
