As a little background about me, I have recently completed an ESLint plugin that will flag code that is not tree-shaken by rollup due to side-effects:
eslint-plugin-tree-shaking
Writing this plugin--which basically implements a side-effect detection algorithm similar to yours--gave me some insights as to how your algorithm might be improved in the future. This pull request is the one that was easiest to implement, others would require greater refactorings.
If you are open for these kinds of contributions, I would be very interested in discussing my ideas and possibly making more pull requests.
