Comment:

 That's expected, even if slightly annoying, and as noted '''no JavaScript
 runs''' anyway.

 NoScript 5.x, by using the available XPCOM APIs, could override the
 browser's maximum priority stylesheet which enforces a
 {{{
 noscript {
   display: none !important;
 }
 }}}
 rule, hiding and disabling all the <NOSCRIPT> elements pre-emptively in
 every docshell where JavaScript is enabled.
 WebExtensions lack this overriding power, so now we must work-around with
 a hack: in order to render NOSCRIPT elements on pages where NoScript 10.x
 disables scripting (by using CSP, which doesn't trigger the brower's
 "JavaScript disabled" HTML parsing code path),
 [https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/blob/c0956b20b90e5b57ead30c783c5b102408a1190a/src/content/onScriptDisabled.js#L4
 we need to replace them] with <SPAN> elements unaffected by the browser's
 enforced styling '''after they're inserted in the DOM''', therefore the
 delay.
