The only good answer to such questions is “try and see”. You can start with
a small example and see how the approach scales in various runtime
environments. You might see a pattern emerging if the same ECMAScript
implementation is used.

Mu.
I referred to my JSX:math/complex.js before, so you are reinventing the
wheel (but you might do it better), but the only real difference to your
approach is that mine is *more* object-oriented: there are Complex instances
(arrays *are* objects too, so your approach is _not_ “purely functional”)
because new Complex instances are created as the result of operations.
Creating new objects when operating on complex values (literally and
figuratively) can only be avoided if an operation function modifies the
object and returns a reference to the modified object. Or one can, with
loss of precision and performance, operate only on string representations,
hoping that the script engine does not create objects from them unless
necessary, i.e. unless String methods are called. Is one of those what you
mean by “an intrusive technique”?
