I'm wondering if there is a feature in core or a contrib module that will give me a veritical menu block, similar to the ones shown here, that does not reqire custom theming.
I only need a single level of menu items.

Could be a trivial thing like Permissions -> Access administration bar (for a role)?
User seeing admin stuff
Can you paste or screenshot the error you encounter?

Wow, that sounds awful... So maybe it's not even related to other modules, but some... cache problem somewhere? Be it browser or server-side? A Heisenbug.

The Nice Menus module gives me something close to what I want, except it definitely needs a bit of theming.

Hm, without Basis (directly or as a base theme), everything should work out of the box. If you use Basis, the issue is the following definition from core/themes/basis/css/component/footer.css:
.l-footer .menu > li {float: left;}In that case, theming is necessary, I guess:
.l-footer .menu > li {float: none;}Place menu blocks or content blocks into the footer and apply to the parent container
.l-footer-inner {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
and
.l-footer-inner > div {
width: 25%;
}
