This is only solvable in the general case by making dwm reparent, which won't happen.

Your work is so mission critical that mistaking window focus being "very unlikely" is not enough? Well then, the only way to avoid such a mistake is to maximise every window (i.e., monocle mode); any alternative will inevitably lead to locus errors at some point (cf. The Humane Interface [1]).
