And then subsequently cleaned up by hand, with several automatic cases
rejected if it didn't make sense contextually.

Even the diffstat agrees this is a nice clean-up. :)

The only comment I have is that maybe these cases can just be left as-is
with _below()?
-             size_t len = get_random_u32_below(rs) + gs;
+             size_t len = get_random_u32_inclusive(gs, rs + gs - 1);
It seems like writing it in the form of base plus [0, limit) is clearer?

		size_t len = gs + get_random_u32_below(rs);

But there is only a handful, so *shrug*

All the others are much cleaner rewritten as _inclusive().
