I understood that mandatory Javascript is unacceptable for accessibility

I'm not sure this is fully true. The Boostrap framework, for example, 
discusses ARIA issues in a number of places, and certainly depends on 
Javascript. In other words, I think you can obviously totally mess up 
accessibility with Javascript on a site, but you can also build a site that 
is accessible. 

afaik the site is currently fully useable without Javascript
except for a few bells and whistles. This had better not change.

If the site remains as accessible as it is now (or gets better), why not? 

Of course. But I suggest having this aspect reviewed by some people
who personally have some accessibility requirements.
