And it has a side effect I rather don't like. Is there a way to get, for example, phosphorescent scarabs, without upconverting, and assisting in the "liberation" of night? I would rather not, and purchasing them, flat out, from the bazaar is extraordinarily expensive

No dissing allowed, please. This is a civil board.
Anyway, there are a few options depending on what you want the scarabs for:
Whirring Contraptions? This Wolfstack Docks storylet has got you covered.
Just to have? Plated Seals are the way to go here.
If you have the Light Fingers ambition there's a pretty decent source along that storyline too, but the above two methods are available for all players.

Oh man. Oh man. You are going to get a lot of dissing from the pro-Liberation of Night folks. Heck, one of the writers of this game is pro-this.
There are going to be people going all role-playing on you, saying "why don't you want to be rid of the tyranny of Light" and such other in-universe nuttiness.
But seriously, you might want to just check the wiki for this, specifically this page. Just so you know, there is a relatively rare opportunity card that appears if your character is sitting in the Lodgings that lets you get some beetles, or you can spend a lot of honey to sponsor a trading voyage and get buckets of beetles.

The Liberation of Night is not like those petty goals of murdering the imperial family and stealing all the things in the name of fair distribution. One gets the idea that there is no retrograde option, that whatever they're doing with all those candles and memories and beetles is irreversible. It might not be, of course, but no mechanism has ever been given to reverse the process, and that is in itself telling.

There are two stories that have ended up going deep in revolutionary territory, deep enough to let you damage the liberation's progress. But yes, overall it is nearly irreversible.
