Came to a same thesis and worked out a similar solution. Also ran into the limits at the 9th perfect number. But JavaScript now supports native BigInt (only in Chrome and I believe newer versions of NodeJs though!). Now we just need a way to generate large prime numbers fast to generate perfect numbers. 😉
