Comment (by westonruter):

 @jonsurrell What if we take your approach for script modules and make it
 available to classic scripts as well?

 Before printing any inline `before`/localize/translations scripts in
 `WP_Scripts`, we apply `script_data_{$handle}` filters to obtain any data
 intended to be exported from PHP to JS, and then construct a JSON `script`
 to print first? This will then be available for classic scripts to parse
 out of the `textContent` on demand.
