In the test below, we cannot cache either [x] or [y] neither before

Actually, does it need to be that complicated?
can't you simply have the "other_thread" process monotonically increase
x by 1 every cycle?
then if the load is hoisted and commoned,
simulate_thread_final_verify() can simply check that if i == j, it
knows that x was loaded as a common value and reused when calculating
j. with the other thread increasing x eveyr sycle, they should never
be the same value.
