Detailed Explaination of Issue
I installed the drivers (I think the controller might have been already connected? Not sure) and allowed "Drew Mills" in System Preferences then rebooted as instructed. Tried to log in and the progress bar progressively slowed down after ~50% then eventually got all the way to 100% but just got stuck there and wouldn't log me in. Tried force rebooting into safe mode but it wouldn't work so I rebooted into recovery mode and did first aid on the drive (not sure if that did anything). Rebooted again holding shift to try to go into safe mode but it didn't appear to work (didn't say "safe boot" in top right corner, login screen functioned normally). Tried logging in anyways because I was out of ideas, left it alone on the loading screen for a while and when I came back it had magically kicked itself back to the login screen in safe mode. I was then mercifully able to log in and I immediately uninstalled the drivers and now it boots normally. I don't know how it ended up in safe mode but I guess I was lucky that it did because I didn't have enough space on my disk to reinstall macOS. This whole thing took about 2 hours and involved a lot of panic so I wouldn't recommend anyone else install it without a backup or a death wish.
