And because these workloads are higher, won't the adjustment be even higher than lower intensity stuff? (And of course, a person has to do recovery rides for this adjustment to occur.)

IF you have the time to work at the LOWER intensities FOR a LONGER period, the fatigue will generally be smaller and recovery is less painful. LOWER = LONGER.
