i feel like that's still a kind of security by obscurity. the LLM isn't guaranteed to trigger a booby trap.
in my opinion there's no _fundamental_ reason between an AI agent and a human adversary attacking your code, just a practical difference. in the long run the only way is to fix the bugs.
but i agree with you that in practice, it's also a question of cost effectiveness. booby-trapping your code is probably making attacks cost prohibitive for almost everyone (which is the same situation as before, when attackers had to employ security researchers/hackers or buy zero-days from 3rd party providers).
running SOTA models is expensive, so the attackers aren't going to do drive-by attacks. next generation cheap models might do the same, but they can also be used by the defenders.
