I did a few queries on our EventLogging editing schema data to check the errors we are receiving since last deployment where we deployed captcha for mobile edits.
Blocked users [1] and AbuseFilter related errors now account for the majority of errors on mobile.
A fix for AbuseFilter is planned so these should drop (for either good or bad!)\ The NULL errors and HTTP errors are a little concerning but the editconflicts are very low considering the number of successful edits we have had during that same period (8545) suggesting restricting mobile edits to section was a good idea.
In terms of blocked users is there any way to easily check a config variable to see if a user is blocked? [2] - we could then prevent them from loading the editor at all and reduce these errors and wasted time.

It would be interesting to know what sort of blocks those are. I can imagine that some IPs are correctly blocked as "open proxies" if there are many users using them (e.g. blackberry?), but there may be mistakes.

Hey Nemo Thanks for the comment! We could certainly update the schema to provide more information if the editing API returns it in the response.... Feel free to open a bug with specifics if you think this would be useful!

Not from a config variable, but you can do $user->isBlocked() in PHP ( https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/html/classUser.html#afd1... )
