I stumbled on what amounts to a solution for me. The default GTK3 theme in Kubuntu is called "Breeze", as is the default KDE and GTK2 theme. Changing the theme to a non-Breeze one reduces the "starting GUI" delay to about 200 ms, depending on the theme. This is much less noticeable.
IMO it's crazy that Vim, despite sourcing over 60 scripts, can start in less than 100 ms, and the GUI can need much longer than that.
