Writing code that utilizes that specific feature of JavaScript is cumbersome.

It's one of the reasons why Prototype.js was created, and one of the reasons that people use CoffeeScript, don't you think?

No. If anything you need to have a better understanding of JavaScript's prototyping behavior to write good CoffeeScript. It's only cumbersome if you're not familiar with it.
