I've seen blind people cut and splice tape, and very accurately.

It depends probably on the kind of editing you want to do.
If it isn't too complex (such as moving fragments in time
AND between tracks at the same time while keeping those
tracks aligned), it surely can be done without having the
visual representation.

The real problem here is probably that the type of editing
operations that Ardour supports are more visual than logical.
Things like 3-pt and 4-pt editing can be done easily without
having a visual representation - I've done a lot of that.
