So the cursor is a separate part and could be fixed and especially tested separately. I am still not sure why some of the tests do not work as-is and we need to tweak the scale/tolerance/etc. probably that also some kind of bugs.

Broader ? Please expand since the change you suggest is only about the cursor

The test part of the fix has multiple stability improvements, and there's no reason to throw that out.
And moving the pixel capture position to a more safe position is fine too. I just think that -10 isn't sa\fe enough.

I am so new to this .. it never occurred :-)

Who mentioned aarch64 ?
Are you referring to you proposed change. I don't see the aarch64 connection anywhere
FWIW the actual hardware on which this was seen is (I think) a 2013 Mac Pro running 10.15.7
