I think infinities are handled properly by the first x == y and would
not be handled by the subtraction.
However thinking further about it, there is another problem with the
current implementation, it does not handle NaN the same way as equals
with no tolerance.
So what about:
return equals(x, y) || Math.abs(x - y) <= eps
