Edit: leaving this for other silly geese like me who missed the toggle. The answer is in the comments here!

My request is for a toggle to hide all vote counts in comments and on posts or anywhere they appear.

I'd like it if the up vote and down vote buttons were still visible and clickable because voting is still a form of abuse and spam prevention, but I personally find the vote counts themselves distracting and unneeded.

Is an optional toggle for that possible to implement?

Thank you Voyager devs, I really like your app.

Sync has this option and I've got it enabled. It's nice, I feel more comfortable typing what I feel without my brain subconsciously stressing about whether I'll be downvoted

It is nice. At least if somebody has something to say, they actually need to say it to you directly. Votes have no effect, no reach, because you just can't see them.

And if your stuff gets down voted into oblivion, either somebody will tell you why or if there are no comments, you'll be able to recognize the reason as silent and non-noteworthy.
