The dark mode on that site is awful, I had to immediately toggle to light mode.

I'm surprised to hear that. I think it looks like a straightforward inversion of the light-mode, which you aren't complaining about, and generally, people seem to like it & I see lots of screenshots of it on social media.

Are you sure there is not a bug? Could you describe what is so bad about it or upload a screenshot somewhere? If you'd prefer to do this over email, I am <[e-mail]>.

I haven't noticed, because I don't use dark mode, instead relying on dimming brightness and contrast of my displays while having soft and warm background illumination :-)

In light mode I miss some color themeing, like soft/warm something yellowbrown/manilapaperstyle instead of that hard black&white, but it still 'works for me' that way.

Or maybe a lighter grey like https://fabiensanglard.net/

If that were the case, I think something like this should be the default(on dektop) for wikipedia.
