I see your problem now that you gave more details. Splash screen only 
works with non-vt console screens. There is a bug report about this problem.

You need vt because you are running a desktop. There is no way to jump 
between vt and sc console screen types after the OS is booted. This is a 
known problem since 11.0 when vt became the default console screen driver.

Unless someone else jumps in with another solution I would say you have 
reached the end of the road about your desire to kill all boot messages.

You said /boot/loader.conf defaulting to vt

  boot_mute="YES"
  verbose_loading="NO"
  beastie_disable="YES"
  autoboot_delay="-1"

kills all the boot messages except some networking messages. If this is 
so then submit a PR about this to get those messages to abide with the 
boot_mute="YES" option setting.

Good luck.
