Also I’m wondering if it still registers as a hit anyway, since the page loads the image before Adblock blocks it, as far as I understand.

It doesn’t, I just tested it with my own dragons. When I reloaded the publicly viewable profile page, every entry in the “views” column incremented by one. When I adblocked a specific dragon, and reloaded the page every entry in the “views” column except that one incremented by one.

So it seems like adblocking dragcave means that people won’t grow their dragons with your pageloads, plus you don’t have to see unwanted dragons.
