I didn't know this was possible, god damn I would love it if there was an add-on specifically for stuff like this, which you could then toggle independently of adblocker.

There is. Install ViolentMonkey (an open source Userscript Manager) then install Userscripts of your choice -here's a few for for Reddit.

Sinkit for Reddit does the job on iPhones. It isn’t Apollo, but it makes the web interface usable.

Does the old.reddit redirect work? I installed sinkit to try it out but it still loads the mobile interface even with redirect toggled on.

Edit: Nevermind, it worked after restarting. Thanks for the recommendation.

I used Redirector for old reddit. It allows me to redirect any URL to another based on wildcards or regex.

Here is the rule I use for it (save as a json file and import via the addon).

{
    "createdBy": "Redirector v3.5.3",
    "createdAt": "2023-12-10T21:12:34.219Z",
    "redirects": [
        {
            "description": "Old reddit",
            "exampleUrl": "https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/b4vm0g/auto_login_a_pain/",
            "exampleResult": "https://old.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/b4vm0g/auto_login_a_pain/",
            "error": null,
            "includePattern": "https?:\\/\\/www.reddit.com\\/(.*)",
            "excludePattern": "",
            "patternDesc": "Redirect to old reddit",
            "redirectUrl": "https://old.reddit.com/$1",
            "patternType": "R",
            "processMatches": "noProcessing",
            "disabled": false,
            "grouped": false,
            "appliesTo": [
                "main_frame"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
