Although I couldn't read the present string (because it was in what
appeared to be Polish), I can confirm that I can successfully access
<https://www.ietf.org/> through Tor after completing the captcah without
JavaScript. It worked without any problems (except the language bit but
that doesn't really count).

Its a ToR thing. You get hit by captchas when you aproach from a ToR
exit node.
I think ToR users are fine with that (generally speaking).
I don't understand why you need JS for presenting a basic captcha. For
instance recaptcha doesn't need plugins:
https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display
Well, it looks like maybe it’s *supposed* to work without JS - if you have JS
disabled it presents the captcha in a slightly different way (saying "To make
this process easier in the future, we recommend you enable Javascript.”), and
then if you answer correctly it gives you a 186 character string to copy then
paste into a second text box. When you do that, what happens with me in the
Tor Browser is instead of letting you get to the site, it just starts the
whole captcha process off again from scratch.
A bug in CloudFlare’s stuff?
