You sound like you've got a good head on your shoulders now that you've realised there is a really bad, loud group in the Brony label

"I'm not even sure if me intervening to denounce the rotten parts of the fandom and encouraging others to do the same would even change its current course of self-destruction and ultimate fading. "

I would suggest denouncing it so the bad!Brony's or people watching the wank would realise that the rotten parts are not cool. I think half the reason a portion of FiM fandom is actually taking notice is because people are pointing at it and drawing attention to the rotten parts instead of trying to ignore it. Hopefully more people, who don't know the length of it and hence were defending, would also find out and be similarily appalled. Banding together to go "NO you cannot advocate rape/be a mysoginistic douchebag" and point out the people who do it would go a small way to stamping it out. (Since a huge problem for my corners of the internet was, in addition to the rotten part, the FiM fandom just quietly stood to the side and acted as if it had nothing to do with them or even defended it)

"Hopefully with some time, the resulting fandom will shift into something less histrionic and more sane and laid-back, as the worst of the fans become ever more secluded into their own remote corners of the internet, without the safety nest that having a huge fandom currently represents. They will no longer have so many people ready to pat them on the back and reassure them on their awful behavior in society just because they like ponies, not with such reduced numbers. They will only have themselves"

I do hope this happens. Fandoms are always better when they've aged and mellowed a bit, smoothed out the rough spots and so on. But it's still pretty important to make it clear to the bad!brony's that they DON'T have a welcome place in this fandom for bad behaviour.
