I keep it disabled just so sites load faster. Except for 1 or 2 sites, I don't care about anything except for the main text on a page, so it's a waste of time to let a ton of javascript run and load/format things that I don't care about.

I generally visit web pages with JavaScript disabled and them immediately click "reader view". But there are certainly a lot of sites where content is loaded with script, and for those pages I must enabled JS. Q: Does anyone know of a Safari iOS add-in that allows for whitelisting of specific sites to run JS?

Not sure if this solves your entire problem, but you can disable all content blockers for any sit in Safari for iOS[1].

So what I should then be looking for is a good content blocker - one that supports disabling JavaScript. Any recommendations?

No clue on that one, sorry. I’ve been using Purify[1] for ages, but have no clue if it blocks JS - I suspect it blocks only some JS, because my experience of the web isn’t trash while using it, but I do have to disable it sometimes to use the heavily animated navigation systems that some sites implement.
