The Constitution mentions “good behavior” but not life or any other tenure. Certainly by today’s standards term limits on the SC could be legislative. SC term limits have been seriously proposed a number of times.

Correct, and the only real reform that could be implemented is for Congress to legislatively define what "good behavior" means, and to provide triggers for impeachment in the case that the standard is violated by a judge.
