An explicit text desloppification pass (i.e. LLM-use obfuscation) seems like outright scientific fraud.

It sure is! But ironically, because of the intention behind the obfuscation. Not the fact that AI was used in a research paper.
I have no issues with AI use in science. If claude can explain my research better than me, then have at it. But I do NOT want to read a passage thinking it was written by a human when it wasn't. Science has no idea yet how such disclosures should work yet. What should be done by humans as a matter of principle, and what can't be or should not be done by humans.
