We will be reusing the existing instrumentation defined in utils.js for the wikitext editor. This is already displayed in a Grafana dashboard and I've updated it to show this info for VisualEditor / MobileFrontend for edits

The patches for review make the rendering of hCaptcha use the utils.js code for this which is instrumented. The rest of the VisualEditor integration already is instrumented for loading hCaptcha and executing it
