It might be a losing battle, but Reddit lost it slowly, more and more over years. And it existed for a good reason.
You might be right in that it's inevitable and not worth the effort, but Reddit did okay with it for a number of years. It might be better to try.
It possibly got worse, I don't see as many people refering to "reddiquette" as I used to, but I'd argue the majority has always been using it that way. I remember people complaining about this in like 2010.
Rarely I'd comment something (in short) like "I don't agree, but upvote". It wasn't elegant, but it allowed people to follow reddiquette without endorsing the thing they were upvoting.
I don't know of a better way of accomplishing that.
