This looks interesting, it's a pity that the example site, https://rq4.dev/, "No JavaScript fingerprinting needed", fails without JavaScript (yes I get it, JS not needed but can be implemented in JS, but still, incongruous).

Good catch - fixed. The page now renders the RQ4 fingerprint server-side on the initial GET request. No JavaScript needed to see your result
