Huh! They removed that hack in iOS 14 but added “extended virtual addressing entitlement” in iOS 14.2 that allows this for real!

Unfortunately, the sideloaded-JIT support seems to have been an accident, as Apple killed it off in 14.4.

Extended virtual addressing is exactly what it sounds like: you get more virtual memory, not the ability to JIT. The technique mentioned in that blog post is no longer possible.
