CSS does not rely on JS APIs

  Incorrect.

    Not it isn't. Whether some browsers reuse JS in some of their APIs is a different story, however there are non-JS browsers with CSS support. CSS has nothing to do with JS and is about rendering.

      Okay. You can’t use Houdini without JS. Just to start. It’s entirely a CSS API, and it’s impossible to use without JS.

        Houdini is an API to extend CSS via JS. That doesn't mean that CSS requires JS at all.

          It’s a part of the CSS spec. Not a part of JS or the DOM or HTML or anything else. Entirely CSS. You can only use it with JS. It’s not the only part of CSS that can only be used with JS, just a really unambiguous part to make the point.
