The frequent discussions (arguments?) about shooting raw vs. jpg leave me confused.

That's not a proof.

... In sum: if you shoot raw and use the manufacturer's editing software, you can then later apply any of the same in-camera settings you choose - the same settings that were available in the camera to produce a jpg.
If you shoot jpg, well, you're pretty much done.

I don't think that statement is true with Sony cameras and editors.
I've done a lot of online research on software that will emulate the RAW to JPEG processing that happens in Sony cameras and apparently there is no way to do that, not even with Imaging Edge or Capture One for Sony. If you search for that you will find a lot of entries in the Sony forums that state that it is not possible with Imaging Edge. If it were I would shoot nothing but RAW but I've tried the default settings on about 10 different editors and none produce an acceptable default image. I cannot edit a RAW file to as good or better than the in camera JPEG that Sony cameras produce. I have tried many times and have become frustrated each time... so, for now it's JPEG for me.

I think the answer whether to shoot JPEG or raw depends on how you plan on sharing the photos. If you are going to share online shooting JPEG may be OK. However if you probably plan on making or having made a print from your work you probably shoot raw. As for having the "right" settings in camera I think you should have camera setting either way for both JPEG's and raw images.
I shoot all my landscape photos in raw and my cameras settings are set up before hand for shadows, highlights, sharpness and white balance since usually I do not use auto white balance.

I first started shooting in RAW so that I might have a tool to address issues with my shooting. After all, in many cases, post processing was easier than skill improvement. As I’ve gotten better (?) at my hobby, the PP has lessened more and more aside from a little composition cropping and other tweaking. Much to my astonishment, since I save a large jpeg, occasionally the RAW file goes directly to the trash.

My experience has been similar.
