In the end my issue was not reading the documentation properly. The problem was that the first force-quit left the ssl_keys file in a broken state, and WS hung on startup trying to make sense of it. There was an old Windows answer on SO saying to delete this file, but I couldn't find it on MacOS. When I read Appendix B3 of the documentation, thought I knew where $XDG_CONFIG_HOME on MacOS was. If I'd backed up a page and seen that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME was actually ~/.config, I'd've found it days ago. So, I deleted the ssl_keys file in the ~/.config/wireshark directory and WS now starts properly. Thanks to @johnthacker for keeping me focused on it.
