Tampermonkey seems to be a good alternative as well and is available for all major browsers.

Does anyone have information on if the Safari Stylish Addon does the same shady things? It's available in the official App Store and was approved by Apple it seems.

I was curious about this too. The source is on GitHub (https://github.com/350d/stylish), but who knows if Apple checks that they're the same when they're approving it.

Edit: I should note that it collects analytics, but it can be turned off in the preferences. I don't remember if it's on by default, but I suspect it is.

Yes, the option is called "Collect anonymous usage statistics" and is turned on by default. But I don't trust it anymore.

Tampermonkey is here BTW: https://tampermonkey.net/?browser=safari

I really love that one, it does a great job in Safari. Unfortunately, there is no Safari App Extension yet. Since I'm running Safari Preview and Safari 12 does not accept extensions from unknown sources anymore I'm out for now.
