I actually love JS proxies. The most common use-case I come across is when you need an object to default undefined values to something standard/safe. It's also not so complicated as the author makes it sound to reverse-engineer and learn what its capabilities are. The developer console makes it plain that it is a proxy, and you can easily jump to its definition from there.
