Another example is that the rendering order of elements in the NewVisualEditor is different to the rendering order of the published page. Wikia Staff even had the nerve to ask me to stop using the formatting that Visual Editor was messing up. I told them to disable it until they fixed the problem.

Yet another example is that the NewVisualEditor re-arranges template parameters - even if the template isn't changed.

There's no reason the parameters shouldn't be put back exactly as they were found. Well, there's one reason, lazy coders who like to claim things are "too hard". I could easily write a template parser which puts edited parameters back into the order they were found, but I have no use for it myself, so I'll save myself 5 minutes and skip it.

The NewVisualEditor template editor is also very limited. Wikia Staff promised some kind of template meta-data to allow the NewVisualEditor to better understand templates, but this has yet to surface, and as far as I can tell the NewVisualEditor template editor has not been improved at all.

As an example, when I attempt to edit on the Fallout Wikia I am always confronted with the classic editor I see VisualEditor right there in the drop-down menu.

Does http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Nuka-Cola?veaction=edit not load the VisualEditor for you?

I do not know of a workaround of using VisualEditor on a wiki that disabled VisualEditor, sadly. Please link to a Wiki which has disabled VisualEditor.
