But is that "core work" going to be beneficial, or just a waste of time because "you bought into the hype" - is the question?

Well... there are several reasons, some of which I agree with and some that I don't necessarily agree with.
Partial squats are more event specific in the case of jumping, they have a specific amortization phase, they lack the impact of jump landings (so you can use more reps without destroying your joints), they provide overload in the form of weight etc... but arguments can be made that you could just as well use full squats for muscle gain and depth jumps/sport specific jumps (dunks) for specificity, without the need of partial squats.
But yeah, IMO, partial squats increase tendon stiffness.

It did?
Maybe you became more of a "tendon-dominant" "mover" so to speak... because it would be retarded to be a muscle-bound long(er) distance runner.
That's why I love 200,300 and 400 m runs for one-leg jumping. I don't know exactly what "long distance" means for you, though.

Great to hear, that's the spirit!
I mean wouldn't it be great to have one more nerd dunker with us?!
