JWST is not particularly well suited to testing homogeneity. Survey telescopes that observe a large fraction of the sky are much better suited to that task.
Homogeneity has been very well tested out to a redshift of a few by surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Dark Energy Survey, each of which have observed thousands of square degrees of sky (there are about 41k square degrees in total). And as another commenter notes, the CMB (at redshift 1100) is homogeneous (to one part in 10k).
