Script Preparation code:

var input = new Array(100).fill().map((v, i) => i);
var proxyHandlers = {
  get(target, prop, receiver) {
    return Reflect.get(target, prop, receiver);
  },
  set(target, prop, value) {
    return Reflect.set(target, prop, value);
  },
  defineProperty(target, prop, descriptor) {
    return Reflect.defineProperty(target, prop, descriptor);
  },  
};

Tests:

Object.defineProperty
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.defineProperty(acc, `key${value}`, { value }), {});
Object.assign (immutable)
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.assign({}, acc, { [`key${value}`]: value }), {});
Object.assign (mutable)
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.assign(acc, { [`key${value}`]: value }), {});
Object.defineProperty on Proxy
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.defineProperty(acc, `key${value}`, { value }), new Proxy({}, proxyHandlers));
Property direct on Proxy
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => { acc[`key${value}`] = value; return acc; }, new Proxy({}, proxyHandlers));
Direct Object Property
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => { acc[`key${value}`] = value; return acc; }, {});
Object.defineProperty with getter and setter
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.defineProperty(acc, `key${value}`, { get(){return value}, set(v) {} }), {});
Object.defineProperties (plural) with getter and setter
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.defineProperties(acc, {[`key${value}`]: { get(){return value}, set(v) {} }}), {});
Object.defineProperty on Proxy with getter and setter
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.defineProperty(acc, `key${value}`, { get(){return value}, set(v) {} }), new Proxy({}, proxyHandlers));
Object.assign on Proxy (mutable)
const output = input.reduce((acc, value) => Object.assign(acc, { [`key${value}`]: value }), new Proxy({}, proxyHandlers));
