Actually, I figured out from the help file a workaround, which is to put all the commands into a function and then do: silent call Function()
It is funny how often functions are the workaround for a lot of the quirks in the Vim ecosystem.
Anyway, I think I will go with that - at least for now - but I will look into the '-s-ex' option at some later time (I did read about it; just haven't tested it yet). Thanks.
P.S. It still seems to me like there should be an option, like "set silent/set nosilent' to just turn it on/off globally. That sounds like something that should be included in a future version.

I want all of them silenced - and it to go directly into the editor with no pausing. Assume it is either impractical or impossible to put "sil" in front of every command.

You can try to use the -s and -e option (see :h -s-ex)
This may or may not help, I don't know for sure.
Best,
