Another possibility is have the knock computer inject anti detonation fluid.
This option makes the most sense to me.

What do you think about the response time issue for ADI vs spark
retard?  Seems like you can fix the very next spark but may have
a significant number of dets before the ADI actually starts flowing
and even more before it stops the dets.  Is this a reasonable concern?

I am leaning towards monitoring the main causes of detonation and fix those
such as inlet air temp and boost before the engine detonates. If we can achieve
that the knock sensor will be redundant.
