As a security-conscious user, I’ve used NoScript since Firefox’s early days, but its restrictive nature has become frustrating. I’m often forced to go unprotected just to access websites with multiple scripts running on different domains, which defeats the purpose of using NoScript and balances security and usability that it once provided.
Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?
greatly appreciate any insight

Not afaik. You either allow it or not. Doing so selectively would require a lot more knowledge than I have.
As a workaround however, running a VM and using your browser from within that would seem like a decent-ish way to obtain similar results with minimal effort. You can use the hypervisor to set whatever limits you require.
