Can you think of any other app besides a browser that parses JS/Remote code that can manipulate it into requesting those particular addresses?
But this isn't a Tor Browser only thing. Applies to any application, specifically those using system default networking (Tor's TransPort).

On a second thought I wonder if this is still a Whonix specific fingerprinting vector. Any DNS request for 172.24.0.0 would resolve to bshc44ac76q3kskw.onion. Not something a remote website could exploit?

My advice is to use a private address range reserved for this purpose by IANA. These will never be used in the future by anyone. Sine we use 10.x.x.x and moved away from 192.x.x.x, this leaves 172.x.x.x

first rule: don't use public IP addresses that are not assigned to you
The rationale is making mixmaster work by default.
