All the security settings I can find are turned off regarding requiring a password to get out of the screensaver, yet there it is asking me for my password quite often. Not every time, and I can't see any rhyme or reason why it only asks sometimes. I don't ever want to have to enter my password to get out of the screensaver. It's a Mac Pro—it doesn't go anywhere!

They've gone waaay overboard with security in 10.15.

You can try a SafeBoot to clear system cache files— SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

if no resolve go ahead and reset NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

There is no harm in these resets.
