I think (but I am not sure) that PTRACE would fall into the category of

That seems like a logical conclusion.
When the system is running in a privileged state, just about the only safe
way to give control to non-privileged work running as an exit or extention
under that same task is via SYNCH.

My first take was to use GTF, but it's probably cleaner to use an exit that MVS
calls regardless of which SVC is used to fetch the module.

The Dorana product from Ubiquity did exactly the sort of audit reporting you’re
looking for, with the same end objectives, and for more than just z/OS.
Softaudit was another product with similar objectives. I think Softaudit ended
up being owned by IBM.
Dorana was acquired by IBM some years ago
