I was actually hoping it'd be possible to do clever wiki tricks for the
banner - I thought it might be possible to have a blob that shows the
banner if the page is in the "proposed Changes" category, or shows the
banner unless the page is in an "accepted Changes" category.

Unfortunately I'm not sure we have the bits in the wiki to do this.
It's *possible* we could use `#pos` from StringFunctions if we have
that turned on -
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##pos -
but only if there's a way to feed #pos the text of the *current page*
as an input, which I'm not sure is possible.
