Do I need to be using the dev or beta branch of esphome, or is the released version OK?

NVM.

It was the removing of the axp192 references that seems to have been behind the screen not waking up properly. The reason I removed that (and, in fact, all of the sensor: block) was because esphome was complaining about a YAML problem that I couldn't isolate except by doing that.

Today, I started over with a fresh git clone of the repo, using an exact copy of the sample YAML. After I changed the three lines to use a font I already had locally, it worked without further problems. I'll probably never figure out what I did subtly wrong the first time around.

Sorry for any inconvenience if anyone was thinking about what the problem might have been!
