I understand that this neighborhood is subdued and quiet during the daytime but that at night it becomes quite animated, even crazy at night, with a large number of people coming for the nightlife centering around the Campo Santa Margherita. Can anyone who has spent time staying here comment on this?

We have stayed a bunch of times in Dorsoduro, about ten times in all. Campo Margherita can be busy at night, fun too. A quite lively younger group congregate there - oldies like us aged 75 still find it welcoming.
Move away more than 100 metres from Campo M and it very quiet. Our last visit was four weeks half way down Calle Lunga San Barnaba, no noise issues.

A bit more advice re Dorsoduro.
On a map, draw a line from Piazale Roma to the San Basilio vaporetto stop. Don’t stay much west of the line, it’s a pretty boring part of Venice.
Also on the map, don’t stay east of the Guggenheim, that part of Venice towards the Salute is dead, no bars or cafes.

We stayed here, an Airbnb listing. We would stay there again, delightful hosts.
