While this did solve it, I wonder why it was working in F31, but stopped
in F32, if that was the issue. There should probably be a warning upon
upgrade, or something like that, because using
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is not at all uncommon..

You installed "network-scripts" and that made it work?  That package is
deprecated and going away soon.  You should make sure it works without that.
Well, that's just more confusing as it turns out.. I configured this one with
the GUI in Anaconda, but this is where it put the connection info. The only
thing I've got in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ is a VPN
configuration. I installed this system as F31 via KDE Spin's installer, if
that makes a difference.
Careful, I think you're confusing two things here.

There's the "network-scripts" package that contains some scripts for "ifup/down", etc. Those scripts shouldn't be used and are going away. They will give you a warning if you run them. NetworkManager provides it's own versions of "ifup/down" that are just wrappers for "nmcli".
Then there's the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that contains 
the ifcfg-* files.  That is not going away and NetworkManager reads 
interface info from there.  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ is 
kind of the native config for NetworkManager and at least VPNs get put 
there.  Other distributions use that more, probably because ifcfg-* is a 
historical Redhat thing.
As far as I know, the installer doesn't create any network connection 
configs for the installed system.  Those get created when you start it.
