I'm so out of the loop on this stuff, it's the first time in my IT career I feel really behind on things.

I've used Claude Opus to quickly and effectively pound out some 100-200 line scripts that integrate with a vendor's API, and it one-shotted them both almost perfectly.

I wonder if for a lot of these local models, the scope of the AI assistance should simply be smaller: You architect the tools and the function definitions, and then tell AI to implement one at a time? Does anyone do that rigorously?

100-200 like scripts are tiny especially for something easy to scope like a vendor api. Give opus a much, much larger challenge and see what you get back. You really don’t need to see the code much at all anymore except for some steering now and then.
