I honestly don't know how much work it would be, or how effective, but I know some other sites do it. I understand Google / FB block most automatically generated accounts.
PS: not that I'm in general in favour of increasing G&FB's power

At least you're still getting the classic tavern experience~

there's a very limited number of people with access to the current system to even possibly make such modifications

We've had some discussion of whether it would be worth it to try to set up a new forum elsewhere, with more modern trappings (with or without tavern history, hasn't gotten to the point of deciding that) -- would probably use different forum software (where discourse is the main game in town, sigh). Still not clear whether this will happen, or should happen (feedback welcome!).
I do think that discord has soaked up a lot of dcss discussion, and r/dcss is also more popular/active than it used to be.
A few devs do have access rights to manually add CDO mantis/tavern accounts, it is sort of a pain to do though.

That number is 1 AFAIK (though he has been happy to work with others who are trying to improve things in the past, we got a bit of a grace period when modern captcha was added by a contributor).

Also it's hard for me to imagine a new player with a question getting in touch with a dev to ask for a tavern account. (I'd have given up had that been required, I suspect.)
