Any idea if there's a way to get a working 13.3 install without
destroying the existing accounts and so forth?

rebuilding is quite a chore.The DVDs don't seem usable for

Boot to single-user mode (2 in the boot menu).  When you
get to the root# prompt.

For UFS2 system, do

# fsck -y
# fsck -y

I don't use ZFS, so don't know if the above matters.

# mount -a
# vi /etc/rc.conf
<comment out kld_list="radeaon_yada" line>
# sync
# exit

You should end up in a console, i.e., no X11 window.
Log in as root.

Assuming you have a populated /usr/ports,

% pkg info | grep kmod
drm-515-kmod-5.15.118_3
gpu-firmware-amd-kmod
...
gpu-firmware-radeon-kmod-verde
% portmaster -Byd drm-515-kmod
% portmaster -Byd gpu-firmware\*
% vi /etc/rc.conf
<uncomment out kld_list="radeaon_yada" line>
% sync
% shutdown -r now
