Hi Knute,
I may be misinterpreting you but I can reproduce the desired beaming with:

%%%
\version "2.24.4"
{
  \clef bass
  c8 c' b a e e' cis'[ d']
}
%%%

Yes, that's true, and I've used this in the past. But, to be honest, I think this is, while shorter than my original version, also uglier, since it introduces an element of asymmetry between the two two-note beam groups. I remember thinking to myself: Which of those groups should I mark with [ ] now?

Also, it remains true that I have to specify an ending to a beam manually where I'd actually like just to mark the point of splitting.
