I am trying to understand whether the ArcGIS Online licensing allows me to create a proxy to attach credentials to requests to a private hosted feature service. 

An example use-case would be an application where we have implemented our own authentication and then want to supply secure data from our organisation to the user in the application. 

I can see that there is somewhat a mechanism to do this using the Esri Developer API keys, but the terms of use indicate that this cannot yet be used commercially:

I would appreciate any insights or recommendations on the matter. For example what would the recommended mechanism be to achieve the above workflow? Thank you!

The documentation was updated as of Nov 1 2023 you can now use API keys to access a private hosted feature service, but you can only do this with an ArcGIS Developer subscription. See https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/mapping-apis-and-services/data-hosting/feature-services/... . Note you cannot access a private hosted feature service with API keys if you are using an ArcGIS Online account, in this case your option is to share the layer public.
