Jake's powers certainly work even if MC is partially hidden from him. So yes, a complete surprise would be pretty much required for this to work.I assume Jake's and other "mental powers" like shen would still work unless MC could take them fully by surprise (never show up as human only as fly) because he is still MC? The Jake fight would have ended by the army of people shooting towards a fly though
Anybody with any kind of aoe ability of any kind except demi pretty much invalidates the fly idea
The reason why I like this idea against Jake is because it could be a technicality that bypasses his passive.
For example,
If MC wants to harm Jake, he will have to deal with the passive, no matter if he attacks with surprise or not.
If MC just wants to fuck around as a fly and happens to enter Jake's ear, then transform into a giant and pop his head, could potentially bypass the passive, due to the lack of hostile thoughts.
Of course, arguing that this way of thinking would completely lack any hostile thoughts, is quite a stretch.
The rules governing Mental powers can be iffy even in the most consistent works.
