I really want to do this, but last time I checked it also leads to FF sending UTC time back to sites (or something like that), resulting in showing non-local time for your own and other interactions on pretty much all sites like github/slack/... Fairly annoying. I hope this becomes a separate setting at one point.

I enabled it and Todoist would show me a dialog on every page reload to set my timezone to UTC. After I realized that resistFingerprinting was causing it, I had to disable it.
It would be nice if the settings inside resistFingerprinting were configurable. I understand that the point of it is to make every browser look the same to analytics engine, but having timezones and zoom levels reset is not the best thing.

Or file a bug report with Todoist. Showing a dialog on every page is not very user friendly of them.

I don't know about fixing canvas and audioleak, but it reset browser zoom to 100% on every load of any website say HN. This is pretty annoying.

Firefox 58+ blocks canvas by default. We don't need to change about:config for Canvas tracking.
Not sure about the status of AudioContext tracking, though.
