Please do disregard that monstrosity. I rewrote it in a much simpler way. It seems fast on a reasonably large Org buffer. It doesn't account for org-indent-mode or org-bullets, but that wouldn't be too hard to fix, I think. No third-party packages are required. See attached file, or <https://github.com/alphapapa/unpackaged.el#outline-number-overlays>.
