[TYPO3-dev] What is the best way to add custom JS events on TCA fields in BE?

This basically is the way to go. You may have a look at some real-world 
sample I did to add a Google Map to TCA and automatically refresh it 
when clicking on the corresponding TCA tab (due to some overlays being 
loaded with an invalid z-index when the Google Map is not shown when 
loading the edit form:
