Do you have some concrete or specific examples of intentional compensation or purposeful scaffolding in mind (outside the topic of the article)?

Great examples. My mind jumps straight to audio:
- the pops and hiss of analog vinyl records, deliberately added by digital hip-hop artists
- electric guitar distortion pedals designed to mimic the sound of overheated tube amps or speaker cones torn from being blown out
Motion blur. 24fps. Grain. Practically everything we call cinematic
Not scaffolding in the same way, but, two examples of "fetishizing accidental properties of physical artworks that the original artists might have considered undesirable degradations" are
- the fashion for unpainted marble statues and architecture
- the aesthetic of running film slightly too fast in the projector (or slightly too slow in the camera) for an old-timey effect
