That said, I do not see how the EarlyOOM heuristic, which allows, depending on the exact settings, something like 80-90% of swap to be used IN ADDITION to 90+% RAM (and will only start doing anything if BOTH RAM and swap are
full) can prevent thrashing in any reliable way.

Well you're right: on its own, earlyoom is unlikely to save you from thrashing if you have swap on disk. This is really designed to work well in combination with zram, and best with Benjamin's resource protection work as well. So please consider it alongside the other work.
