Accessibility question: how do screen readers handle ascii art-style diagrams like this? It seems like they would be overwhelmed by the lines.

They don’t. You should aria-label it thus:

    role="img"
    aria-label="A styled box using monospace box-drawing characters. Its header is 'area complete', and there's a link to a forum post."

(Happy to be corrected/updated here, I am not an a11y expert. I am a very happy Monodraw customer though!)

Would this tell the screen reader to just ignore it? Then you'd lose all accessibility for its content.
