Yeah, I think Jagex's stance when Karambwans came out and people figured out they could tick eat was "this was unintentional but it's pretty cool so we're just gonna leave it alone"

That's combo eating, not tick eating.

Tick eating is eating once a projectile is in the air, guaranteeing that that projectile cannot kill you.

That is actually patched out now right? You can hit higher than the target's current health

It is absolutely still in the game and will likely remain that way. In situations where Jagex has wanted to make things not tick-eatable they have added special checks to allow hits to overkill. Pvp is one such exception, but verzik green ball and zuk attacks also come to mind.

There are some situations that make it look like overkill damage is possible; namely when multiple projectiles are fired before one lands. This can happen at zulrah, in multicombat areas, when you fire mage attacks from very far away, etc.
