Update and solution:
I have received my printer back from the Ultimaker Service Center. They replaced:
Sliding blocks (maintenance)
Timing belts (maintenance)
Printhead Cable (broken retention clip)
Printhead PCB (the threaded insert was about to break off)
Printhead capacitive sensor (the old one had a loose wire)
Front Axial fan - (updated to the new version)
Nozzle seal - (maintenance)
Both Printhead side fans (the slack wires were hanging out of the back of the print head)
Printhead side fan bracket (had a chip on the bottom)
Both Bowden tubes (maintenance)
Both Feeders (maintenance / update to the new fine-knurled version)
Installed a new AA 0.4mm PrintCore (maintenance)
Front Axial fan (again - the other one died during testing)
And the test prints they ran were turning out well.
However, upon receipt of the printer, I was still having the wall separation issue, no matter what version of Cura I used (I tried 4.13.1, 5.2.1, and 5.4.0).
The fact that the issue was still occurring and was happening on my other Ultimaker machines led me to investigate the PC I was using to slice the files. All of the hardware is recent except the graphics card (an ASUS GTX 660, model GTX660-DC2O-2GD5), so I purchased and installed a new graphics card (an MSI GTX 1650).
Now everything I slice is printing fine.
So, a lesson hard won: the graphics card you use in your PC for slicing matters!
