But our law
does not let them set up their own law court and dish out the punishments the OT clearly says they should.
Hence, there have been aspects of their culture outlawed already.

they wouldn't set one up if we let them,
in fact they have their own country and they still don't do it there, because the temple was destroyed so there's no authority for the Sanhedrin.
Some Zionists want to build the third temple and resume temple sacrifices again.

Surely they should be allowed if they wanted to, though?
Stoning adulterers is as much a "unambiguous requirement of the holy text" as circumcision.

It's a requirement of the Jewish law court, should there ever be one,
and should anyone ever be convicted of adultery by it. It is not a requirement of an individual. Nobody is ever declared non-Jewish for not ever having stoned someone. That would actually require someone to commit adultery before it were possible for anyone to become Jewish, which would be absurd.
