I'm forced to use Slack for work and I notice that there's a multi-second delay between my keyboard input and when the characters show up on the screen.

I believe you, but I think you're hitting something completely unique to your setup and external to Slack. I've never seen antyhing like that, what are you running it on? Do you have ways to inspect to find where the bottleneck is?

That's entirely possible, but this problem has persisted throughout multiple versions of Firefox and Fedora. For all I know, it could be due to the VPN connection, but even then, the VPN connection isn't that slow. Zoom video conferences still work reasonably well over it.

You must use a different Slack than I do, because I use nothing but the browser client and have had zero issues like this or the parent comment. Get up in arms about the outages, because that’s a bit more justified, but this feels a bit contrived?
