This makes sence but introduces a problem, at least in the implementation I see.
A JS-free user would be served a static html file, which is presumably created
at export-time. Since the alternatives are somewhat transient and the html files
are created somewhat infrequently, this approach will resolve broken links more
often.

I guess the true problem of this depends on the availability of JS-free
alternatives and thus I don't really know how big of a deal this is. It would
also be alleviated if GNU would host instances of alternatives (like
https://projectsegfau.lt/ does, I don't know how reliable they are), but this of
course requires effort on their side.

It's also easier to resolve an authoratative source to an alternative than the
other way round, but this is not too big of an issue.
