Just adding the next bit to the ongoing story: I'm currently in the process of using EaseUS To Do Backup to restore the full system image I took in July 2019.
This experience has taught me just how critical it is not only to take full system image backups on regular cycles, but to keep more than one handy. I had another from September 2019 that simply would not restore no matter what I tried, including deleting the partitions from the entire target drive with Gparted after it barfed restoring the first time. Running an image check on that image came up with no errors, but even a subsequent attempt after the partition deletion failed in the same way.
The restore from the July 2019 image, taken by the same software, is chugging along smoothly at the moment and is far, far further into the process than it was when it barfed with the September image.
Had I been actually using the machine I would have had additional images post-September, but the July one will be just fine. I'll have to apply a cumulative update and I should be back in business afterward. Will report later with the end result.

The EaseUS recovery process finished a few minutes ago (took approximately 3.5 hours with a USB 3.0 connected external HDD) and I have successfully booted into Windows 10 (but much more slowly than usual, but that's not particularly surprising. It appears that Windows is still going through the gyrations of "getting its footing" again, and also very slowly.
Winver returns Version 1903, Build 18362.175, so a feature update is going to be necessary. More info as it becomes available.

Well, I applied the update to 1909 and while this typically is one of the fastest Feature Updates I've performed, this time it was an hours long process, about 6.5 hours long. Heaven only knows why.
I will do a disc drive check, but the drive is relatively new, so I'd be shocked if it's at fault.

Some very strange, and very slight, peculiarities after the restore from the full system image. For some reason Windows was having difficulties with my prior default app choices for audio, video, and images. All I had to do was go back in to the Default Apps settings and pick what I wanted again. The Radeon Graphics driver also, somehow, was no longer present, but that's been reinstalled, too. I think my missing Brave browser was because I had not yet installed it last July, but it's installed now.
After getting the tweaks required to get the system "back to old normal" I promptly did another full system image backup so I have this as the baseline.
