To attack this problem, I was planning disable the rich text editor until it was fixed. This would force users to use the Markdown editor.
The problem with this is the Markdown editor offers no way to upload images 😕

• Investigate the difficulty of allowing image uploads in the markdown editor
  It might be possible to add a image widget outside of the editor, and reference these images from the markdown editor

This issue might be fixed by #5795

The rich text editor can be easily disabled using the modes config on the Markdown widget https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/widgets/#markdown

Currently there is no clear way to upload an image in this mode without adding an image field to the frontmatter.
I have created a discussion to confirm this #6497
