Indeed, much of the custom [[Get]] etc. functionality can be turned

Web IDL to specify an ES5 binding (and not ES3) at this point, given
that specs depending on it want to advance along the Rec track?
I would tend to be rather in disfavour of anything that might cause
WebIDL to be delayed in any way. I also think that keeping the ES3
binding is useful (in the short term at least) if only because it is
familiar, which might point to building the ES5 one separately.
If at all possible I'd rather it went to LC ASAP, and if needed that
new stuff be done in a branched document.
Based on the conversation so far, I expect Web IDL in roughly its
current state would not survive Last Call.
