Am I missing something obvious? I’ve pulled the emergency key out and it’s still a closed loop. Putting a split ring on it the classic way seems like it will permanently deform the ring and/or scratch the fob because the loop is so bulky.

It will get scraped when you put it on. But, it will also get scraped in your pocket over time. The split ring will just be the first scrape

I just noticed the silver part is actually metal so it shouldn't get scraped.
