Unfortunately, visual mode still only gives you a single selection.

  True. An alternative if you want to see all your selections highlighted would be to turn search highlighting using set incseach and hlsearch. Use / to first select what you want to change. Then use cgn to make a change and . to repeat it. n will skip a change. This still might not be exactly what you want and that’s fine. It’s always good to try new ideas and new software but for me vim gives me plenty of options already.
