there are added inefficiencies. Also the name resolution of the HTTP that serves the Javascript that opens the WS should remain constant. If WS resolves the host/domain to a different address than the HTTP it was spawned

That's an unfortunate misunderstanding.

All protocols that use SRV records maintain the target domain.

So a ws://example.com/xyz would still send a Host header of "example.com", whether SRV or not, so there is no impact on same origin policy, CORS, etc.
