Is it possible to proactively block application downloads through JAMF pro? For example, we determine and set up a whitelist of applications, and anything not on that list is blocked, rather than us finding it through our computer lists and removing it after the fact.

You could deploy a configuration profile with a Restrictions payload set to only Allow specified apps, but its not very effective, and you'll end up playing Whac-a-Mole.
