Let me add here, that Debian and Ubuntu never made the switch to a JS-based polkit, i.e. we still use v0.105 in all our current stable releases and development branches. The idea of using a turing complete language which makes it impossible to audit the polkit configuration never struck us as a good idea. Also seeing the pain which is involved getting polkit updated to newer mozjs releases, and the fact that mozjs, afaik, is not officially blessed/security supported by mozilla, didn't really to convince us to do the switch either.
