Thanks. That information led me down a path to a... partial solution, at least. I couldn't figure out how to force current Pywikibot to expect older versions, so decided to just try older Pywikibot altogether. I had some trouble finding full versions of the old, but specifically replacing the api.py file with some older versions eventually found success (mostly) with the version from 2018-05-05. It still occasionally gives me a different kind of error, but telling it to resume from where it stopped after going through hundreds of pages is manageable for my needs.
