I'd be ok with a more exhaustive scanner that's run separately on

with daily build cycles. Under an hour is friendlier, but for what the
scanner
is guarding against, several hours seems ok.

That would be nice to have, but:

1. We would still need to maintain the short list in addition to the
long list.

2. From experience, there's a significant chance that a sufficiently
large scan will hang/crash the browser/tab, or simply run into slowdowns
(i.e. performance is worse than O(n)), and the scan cannot be simply
split across multiple browser runs, because it is traversing a highly
cyclic graph without reliable unique node labels.

(Given the ability to provoke crashes, I've even been giving some
thought to repurposing it for stress testing browsers.)
