I'm not sure this can be done without fixing T8754 first, but...
[[special:allpages]] identifies redirect pages from all other pages. Redirects are in <i>italics</i>, whereas other pages are not. I want to split all other pages into article pages and disambiguation pages, so developing the theme, I think it would be good to put disambiguation pages in <b><i>bold italic</b></i>.

This is currently implemented by putting the REDIRECT title in <div
class="allpagesredirect">…</div> and then applying a CSS style to that class: this
enables users to highlight the REDIRECTs (my custom CSS makes them smaller).
Maybe we could have <div class="allpagesdisambig">…</div> in similar vein?

<div class="allpagesdisambig">…</div> would be a good method of doing this, it
may be possible to use code from [[Special:Disambiguations]]. See bug 9319 for a
similar request.

All pages in a namespace should be listed in [[Special:AllPages]].
You're looking at this problem the wrong way round. The solution to having disambiguation pages listed in the main namespace is to remove them from the main namespace and put them into a Disambiguation namespace. Use a bot to ensure that e.g. [[English]] redirects to [[Disambiguation:English]].
There will be pushback from the community for this, but for the invalid reason that "they changed it now it sucks" https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheyChangedItNowItSucks
The expectation that the mainspace of the wiki is basically closed in itself is quite reasonable, and the desire to not confront unsuspecting readers with prefixes like "Disambiguation:" as well. Finally, any suggestion which requires a regular bot run to restore basic functionality is obviously out of the question.
