As suggested in T212085, here a new task for this problem.
I was wondering if TemplateStyles could be applied also while loading the VE/NWE (those approx. 2 seconds after clicking the edit button). It is confusing, to say the least, seeing the page broken, even if it is only for a few seconds.
Video for reference – note how the styling of the quote box in bottom-left flickers while the editor is loading, and then again while it is closing:
(recorded on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism#Theories)
We probably disable/enable the styles at the wrong time during the editor setup/teardown.
Change 602724 had a related patch set uploaded (by Bartosz Dziewoński; owner: Bartosz Dziewoński):
[mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor@master] Toggle TemplateStyles at a better time during (de)activation to avoid flashing

I can confirm that this works correctly now, testing on the same page as before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism#Old_animism) and looking at the quote box:
