If there are no rational point, the function may return the degree n map you described, but in fact I am ok if it returns just error message that the input has no rational point and is therefore not an elliptic curve. There is a similar function in Magma but the inconvenience is that it requires explicit rational point as an input, so I need first to search for it. I then found function ellfromeqn in PARI that does not require a rational point as an input, and wanted to know if it can output the actual isomorphism (change of variables), but from your answer I understood that not (Because J(C) can be found just from invariants, while isomorphisms are more complicated.) For at least cubic curve you can do this with sagemath, https://sagemath.org IIRC point on the curve is not needed. Probably you can find the formulas from the source.
