I changed it to
{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
but Calibre is still dropping books to the Kobo root. I also checked the save template under "file formats" on the the "Device" icon when the Kobo is connected; it is also set to
{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
So for now I'm manually creating an author folder on the device and moving the book into it.

I'm not absolutely certain but I don't think the device select in the configuration for the Kobo Utilities will affect the use of a template defined for the KoboTouch driver. I know the template in the Send to Device configuratation in Send to device is overridden by the template set on the KoboTouch driver.
For what it may be worth, the template I am using with the KoboTouch driver and which transferred over to calibre 8.0 (and 8.0.1) is:
Ebooks/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}
My calibre ebooks are stored in a directory in the root of the Kobo exposed storage called Ebooks.
Inside that directory, directories are created based on the first entry in the author sort list. i.e. Muir, Tamsyn
Inside the author sort based directories, ebooks are stored with a filename created from the title - first entry in the author list. i.e. Tor.com Publishing 2019 Debut Sampler - Tamsyn Muir.epub (or .kepub.epub if on the fly conversion is enabled).
For that sample book, all 10 authors are stored in the database for search, etc.
