This may be a possibility. Presumably in such a future it would be a
static error to have both a "constructor" and a "new".

No - any function (constructor) can be to the right of "extends". Again,
not necessarily arguing the case either way, but if in some future there
were field initializers then they would presumably be at the top of the
desugared constructor:
function _ctor(a, b, c) {
// super constructor call?
// execute field initializers
// "new" / "constructor" body
}
