I am going to say yes this is my assumption based on the fact watir

but as far as the original problem of it not waiting for the browser
to load I am going again to guess there is probably a way to hook into
the events happening on the page to check if its done or not (but
that's just me)
If I understood my colleague's Javascript code which is several years
old, is multilayered, including its own browser compatibility layer for
event handling pre-dating the modern alternatives ... and why we can't
just use an out-of-the-box solution (jQuery-based?) here instead ...
Yes, I could probably come up with a patch in the events. Maybe I should
just punt the whole problem back to her. But meanwhile, I have a
satisfying enough answer that the team accepts and I can continue on
with watir-webdriver implementing a workaround in whatever way I see fit
for the short term. Yay. Mission accomplished!
Thanks so much for your help, and to Chuck as well for his input.
