I wonder if the official smartphone app uses the same API as the one exposed and documented for third-party apps. It's my understanding that it does not because the unofficial app I use (reddit is fun) lacks some features, so just borrowing the official app's key and putting it in RiF is out, but surely it would be possible to adapt a FOSS app like Slide to quack like the Blessed Official App and let the arms race begin, no?

Yeah, API arms race is definitely the next step. I’ll put up with reduced functionality or just stop using Reddit on mobile.

Worst case scenario is just web scraping Reddit and serving up to 3rd party clients as read only.
