I like these nebulous concepts. They're fun to speculate about and try to debate in a scientific/knowledgeable manner. 
It seems to me that witch space is not a location, rather it is a conduit (a distortion of space-time) created based upon origin and destination, and a temporary one at that. I'm not thoroughly versed on 'the evidence' you mention (whatever that may be) but I don't see how you install a sensor network 'in there.' We also have yet to understand how to get telemetry and/or signals in and out of (or through) witch space. Our own ships' systems go haywire while we're coursing through to our exit point (destination system). To me, just saying or seeing 'they do it!' * doesn't imply understanding or evidence that's tangible or understandable.
Clearly we have a lot to learn and we are still well behind Thargoid tech (at least)!
For now, maybe I'll stick to the well-placed-cheese idea [1]
* whether "they" be Thargoid, Salvation, Guardian, or...
Edit: I am certainly interested in seeing Salvation's new anti-xeno technology. If it does exist and if it is effective, we (humans) could learn a lot about the Thargoids and potentially more.

Here's one reason why. The latest Galnet article, in which Salvation takes credit for repelling the Thargoids, has a number of holes.
Ok, so (s)he takes credit for giving the warning. Fine. But were any of the pilots (s)he credits with the victory given the new anti-xeno tech / weaponry to help achieve this? No? Then I'm not sure (s)he deserves credit beyone the early warning because the pilots themselves did the hard work. Was there any evidence of Salvation's gizmos being in use during this latest conflict?
The fact that an attack occurred in a system where a stockpile of Guardian goodies were placed is not exactly a huge surprise. I love the story here, but a healthy dose of skepticism is my MO for now.

One can propose a number of potential explanations, but that's not terribly convincing. We humans are quite good at making correlations but, as they say, correlation is not causation.

GALNET - 22 SEP 3307 - Salvation Takes Credit for Repelling Thargoids
GALNET - 22 SEP 3307 - Salvation Takes Credit for Repelling Thargoids The anonymous ‘man of science’ Salvation has claimed responsibility for the Thargoids’ unexplained departure from the Cornsar system. Salvation had predicted their attack, but his claim was discounted by Aegis and other...
