Vanity onion addresses, for example, might have done more harm than good

Why do you say that? What harm would human readable .onion addresses do? And to who?

As a result, maybe we should make it intentionally *harder* to manage raw onion addresses, just like it's hard to manage raw barcodes.

Humans don’t deal with raw barcodes. They do deal with URLs.
