Well, that was easy. The Classic Editor plugin restores the old editor, with all my custom buttons.

And installing it with the command line interface was just 

wp plugin install classic-editor

Nearlyfreespeech.net has been great, but their security settings make it hard to update WordPress automatically. I just discovered that WP now has a command line interface that works fine over SSH.

  wp core update
  wp core update-dp

And done!. You can do wp db export to back up the database first.
And updating plugins (for those that can auto-update) is just wp plugin update-all.

My biggest complaint with WP 5.5 is the new post editor. It's a new, simpler editor but all my custom buttons are gone. I suppose I'll have to figure out how to restore the old editor.
