"..all the operations are specified to deterministically produce the same bit-exact results on all hardware..."

You have to block floating point calculations as well if that is your intent.

The animals already fled the barn on that one, WebAssembly floating point is not specified to be bit-exact, so you can use WASM FP as a fingerprinting measure (theoretically - I don't know under which configurations it would actually vary.)
