>Actually one of paracetamol's metabolites is hepatoxic, the drug itself doesn't cause liver damage.

That's right.

>I've read some reports where glutathione/N-acetylcysteine supplements are recommended with long-term use as heavy use can deplete reserves and lead to liver toxicity (in a small subset of patients).

Methionine has been used for this purpose but it's not recommended. The risk of serious liver toxicity following the long-term use of recommended doses is remote. The safety of excessive methionine supplementation is more questionable.
