All things considered, making (censored) noises in eroge is much less involved than on-camera nude scenes, so why would anyone give seiyuus flak for it?

Well, I don't think it's about nudity; nudity has been a common feature of recognized, "high-class" art forever. I think it's simply the stigma of "working in the porn industry". This is even though the voice actors can make the same sorts of sounds in other anime/games (particularly the more suggestive ones) and it's okay. I once got into a bit of an argument with someone who was arguing that "the sounds of sex" were "sacred" and that voice actresses are essentially defiling themselves by taking on these roles; my argument was essentially that, to them, it's just acting like anything else, and it's not actually anything like sex (regardless of how it's depicted)... But, regardless of your personal feelings about it, the line is there in a lot of people's thinking, so the industry tries to play by these same rules.
