But it also caused me to run into other things I'd set up manually that I'm having to figure out---good way to learn!  Haha!

You can only set header or footer settings when the section starts on a 
new page. Permitting these two values for every section without this 
restrictions can lead to problems because there can be cases where you 
have different section levels on the same page and the setting from the 
last command on the page counts.

> One thing I *CANNOT* figure out:  I've been using \doifoddpageelse to put in a blank/empty page at the end of a section (if needed) so that new sections always start on an odd page.  This is still working with the change to chapters from sections, EXCEPT for the first chapter (after TOC)!  Totally stuck with that one...

Let me guess you divide your document into section blocks (frontmatter, 
bodymatter etc.).

When this is the case you have to first disable the page setting for 
these blocks because they interfere with the header/footer setting. To 
disable the page breaks add

   \setupsectionblock
     [frontpart,bodypart]
     [page=no]

to your document setups.

No you can change the settings for the page break at the begin of each 
chapter to

   \setuphead
     [chapter]
     [page={yes,header,footer,right}]

which

   1. Finishes the last page of the previous chapter
   2. Disables the header and footer for the next (empty) page
   3. Adds a empty page when necessary to start the new chapter on a 
right page
