I've come across a better way with the help of the awesome folks on the Dev discord server.

Install uBlock Origin or another extension that supports Adblock Plus-compatible filters. In uBlock origin's settings, go to the "My filters" tab and paste the following code in, then press "Apply changes" ! fandom.com - Prevent the loading of the VisualEditor
 * fandom.com/*ext.visualEditor.core*

Install the Violentmonkey extension (or Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey) and create a new user script with the following contents:

Install Stylus (or stylish) and create a new style with the following contents

When personal customization becomes a thing the JS and CSS can be placed in your personal pages instead of running them through extensions.

Doing the above instead of my previous steps doesn't break anything beside the editor (meaning the masthead and preferences still work)

This shouldn't be required though, editors should get the option of opting out of the slow-loading JS mess that is the VisualEditor.
