Just for me to fully understand your setup.
How many eth ports do you have in your opnsense box?

Just for me to fully understand your setup.

4, but only 2 are enabled. WAN and LAN. The LAN connection is only split by the managed switches.

Then I really recommend you not to play with vlan and use different eth ports as different segments.
The performance will be significant better this way
Part of the reason it has to be this way is the layout of my apartment. The modem and firewall are in the bedroom, where there is no desk. It then takes a long walk to my living room, where it hits the first switch, and then a short walk from there to my office, where it hits the second switch and all of the computers that need this configuration.

OK, then assuming that you already discarded to run 2 cables and others in this thread provided a very good guide of how to do vlan, I can only recommend to setup some aggregation channels in your opnsense box and some switches to at least mitigated the performance hit.
Not now, of course, first you need yiur setup working
