Pretty much title, I’ve got a formal wedding to go to in October and I’m not a formal person. Can I wear these docs without looking like a jerk

No loafer is formal enough for a wedding in the West traditionally speaking

Eh, I've worn loafers to two weddings and been plenty formal. One was at a camp and one was in a barn though, so it depends heavily on context.

One was at a camp and one was in a barn which suggests they aren’t that formal.

Sure, they weren't that formal, but they were weddings in the West where loafers were appropriate, so it depends heavily on the wedding itself. That being said OP has clarified that this wedding is black tie optional, so loafers wouldn't be.
