So cancel your subscription and go back to using 2011. I have 365 on my
PC, and AFAICT 2011 has no issues with spreadsheets created in the most
recent version.

Even with the Ribbon? But you're right. I'll cancel my subscription to
Office 365 and keep macOS Sierra and Office 2011.

Uh... you lost me. What does the Ribbon have to do with anything?

Office 365 on PC makes heavy use of the Ribbon with VBA and I think
that Office 2011 for Mac doesn't know anything about the Ribbon.

That would be a decision by the user, not Office itself. 2011 does have the
Ribbon, but since I don't program for it, I can't say whether or not it works
the same as the PC version. (I would assume it does, but no info either way
on my end.)

As an aside to all of the above, there *are* other office suites besides
Microsoft's. It might be worth your while to see if any of them would suit
your needs. OpenOffice and its derivatives (especially NeoOffice, which is
Mac-specific) are by far the most popular, and they're free. (Well...
NeoOffice is $15, or $30 through the app store.)

I've tried OpenOffice 2 years ago and found it was ugly and very very
slow on a Mac with 16 GB of RAM. I'll try NeoOffice. Thanks for the
advice.

Just remember that Neo is based on Open and Libre. If Open was slow for you,
IMO there's a good chance that Neo will be as well. Try the free viewer first
before spending money.
