This seems dangerous since typical java Lists don't support sparse layouts like javascript arrays do. If you set length to a very large value on a javascript array it's no big deal, but do the same on an ArrayList, and you're probably going to run out of memory.
Should we at least add a javadoc description for the class that describes the additional behaviors which NativeJavaList adds to NativeJavaObject and potential pitfalls when using these features as if Lists were arrays? Is this stuff documented anywhere else other than in PRs and commit messages?

Improving the Javadoc sounds great to me.
In general, the "embedding guide" is very very old and hasn't it been archived by Mozilla? Do we have any volunteers to resurrect it?

How should we document this? JavaDoc, MD, wiki-page?
I would prefer a markdown documentation like this one: https://github.com/oracle/graaljs/blob/master/docs/user/JavaInteroperability.md

Personally, I think the javadoc should contain basic important information for using the class. Wiki/user guide type documentation is good for going into more detail if someone is willing to write that. As we know, external documentation is not always easily accessible and developers should have some idea how a class works without having to closely study the code or pull up external docs.
