How would this realistically be enforced though without there being a paper trail at all?

Kudos to those honorable people that do declare tips on their tax return though.

There's a default rate (percentage) that gets used in the event of an audit, I believe.

If you are somewhere that tracks your individual sales, you'll get hit with this.

To be fair, the rate is pretty low and so almost everyone will still have a large percentage of their tips go untaxed.
