It seems that the rest of my post was cut off. Here's what I've been able to accomplish by applying a custom "scatter brush" to a polyline. I am close to what I want, but you'll see the corners aren't "wrapping" at the anchor points.
Any suggestions on a better approach?

You may try to create custom pattern brushes instead of scatter brushes.
Depends on the desired output.

That's very nice, thank you! Exactly what I need. Is that a pattern brush or a different brush type?

Yes, pattern brush. You can duplicate it to make the other paths you need. The PDF should be AI compatible.
