The solution given here [[phabricator:T270376#7365202]] after the breakthrough discovery [[phabricator:T270376#7364419]] by Func needed to be tweaked also with <code>AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode</code> to stop the [[mw:VisualEditor]] REST 404 errors exhibiting when trying to edit subpages. Adding <code>AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode</code> to the Apache 2.4 config inside of the <VirtualHost>-directive seems to yield a completely functioning VisualEditor setup.
This advice I found in [[mw:Extension:VisualEditor#Allowing VisualEditor on page titles containing slashes]] after it was kindly pointed out by an irc-goer in #mediawiki. So the documentation has been improved lately.
So two configuration changes to Apache2 were needed to successfully enable VisualEditor:
<pre>
  AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
</pre>
for VE to work with URL's with slashes in them
<pre>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(?:(?!rest.php/).)*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
</pre>
for REST traffic to work as intended and naturally also short URLs working (MediaWiki is residing in w/ and wiki URL is /wiki/) and no more REST 404 errors at all.

I finally enabled [[mw:VisualEditor]] on all wikis. I'm still getting REST 404 errors with VisualEditor, but I have verified that those exhibit '''only when trying to edit a subpage'''. When trying to edit a subpage with VE, it fails with REST 404 when loading the VE, but if trying to create a subpage with VE it fails only after the final "save page".
