CallSites are the best you can get (JITs treat CallSite.target as constant and aggressively inlines through them), but you have to bind CallSite instance either to invokedynamic call site or put it into static final field.
And that really extends to MutableCallsite? In a dynamic language where you depend on the instance types you cannot do all that much with a non-mutable callsite.

The best thing you can do is to wrap method handle constant into a newly created class (put it into constant pool or static final field) and define a method which invokes the method handle constant (both indy & MH.invokeExact() work). The method should either implement a method from super-interface or overrides a method from a super-class (so there's a way to directly reference it at use sites). The latter is preferable, because invokevirtual is faster than invokeinterface. (LambdaMetafactory does the former and that's the reason it can't beat MH.invokeExact() on non-constant MH).
that is indeed something to try, nice idea. Now finding the time to actually do it :(
