Basically title…I’m wondering specifically if my chrome/userChrome.css is increasing my chances of getting fingerprinted/tracked/etc. I can’t find answers on DDG or on Arkenfox’s GitHub, so I’m probably good, but what do you think?

OP is asking about userChrome.css, which applies to the style of the browser window itself, not webpage contents. Websites can't view the markup for the browser window itself (which, fun fact is (mostly?) just HTML too), otherwise this would all be moot and they could just look at your list of tabs or your username in the menus.
