Everything I've read implies that the template only applies when sending a doc to a device, or when saving it to another format. I'm not interested in either of those. And if changing the template does affect the library's folder structure as I want, it's unclear what happens to my existing library. Will they all get updated, or does it only affect new imports? I'm hesitant to try with my library. I've been meaning to copy it to play around.
The template only affects Exports.
Any changes in Calibre usually tend to only affect future actions.
There is a Regex pattern in Preferences: Adding books that affects how incoming filenames can be parsed to create Metadata

You can always edit Metadata
There are numerous tools and ways built in.

You can rename Authors from inside the Tag Browser
You can use Bulk Mode to change a group
You can use the S&R tab to do... (Lots)
