If we're doing the virtue ethical banning, then as long as we agree that the people in question deserved a ban, the specific reasons given for the ban aren't very important.

Yes, they are. They set the percedent for which other users get banned.

I think you misunderstand virtue-ethical banning. It's not about what you say, it's about who you are. "Precedents" are a deontological idea.

Yes, and in particular it matters which aspect of who you are is the one that got you banned?
