You are right that I can approximate it simply by making all the parts white
(as shown). However, shaded white is not really white. Every angle of
white reflecting to the camera is actually a different shade of gray. I
really want no shading at all.

Have you tried disabling lighting?

Wow do I feel stupid. No, I hadn’t tried that, and it works perfectly. It’s
still not a vector image, but at least it gets me to a good raster image in one
step instead of five. It is a bit counter-intuitive to me that the way to get a
good wireframe is NOT to enable wireframe mode but rather to make the parts
white and shut off lighting, but at least it works! (Note that the LEGO logo
will show up on the studs in light gray unless you disable primitive
substitution.)
