I like the decluttering. I think the title should be smaller and have less white space above it. Also think that it would be better if the ToC was maybe just faded a lot until mouseover, the sudden appearance/disappearance feels too sudden.
I think making things faint enough so that the relatively small margin between main body text and the ToC wouldn’t become bothersome during reading isn’t really feasible. In-general, because people’s screen-contrast and color calibration differs quite a lot, you don’t have that much wiggle room at the lower level of opacity without accidentally shipping completely different experiences to different users.
I think it’s plausible we want to adjust the whitespace below the title, but I think you really need this much space above the title to not have it look cluttered together with the tags on smaller screens. On larger screens there is enough distance between the title and top right corner, but things end up much harder to parse when the tags extend into the space right above the title, and that margin isn’t big enough.
