I think we should wait for V8 9.1 to land on master and use StringPrototypeReplaceAll here instead, but non blocking.

That's correct. StringPrototypeReplaceAll would be the ideal thing here.
Do we proceed with the changes in this PR or close it for now?

AFAICT, this part of code is run before any user code, so it's not at risk of prototype pollution. Maybe we could simply add a comment that states that prototype pollution is not a concern for this function. wdyt?

I've opened a concurrent PR (#38838) to implement my suggestion, adding the blocked label to make sure this doesn't land until @marsonya has time to review and decide which should we land.

Thanks for implementing the new PR. Your suggestion is the right solution to go ahead with.
I am going ahead and closing this PR in favour of #38838.
