So the first thing to try would be to repeat your process without unchecking that box.

Alright, I ran the same export while preserving authorship. This solved the issue of duplicates! But, it moved the issue to the snippet types: for one category only. I duplicated that category, moved the data to the new one, and deleted the old. Now it's working exactly as I had hoped. Easy to fix if only a single category has this issue.
Structure exports may have originally been for new-only realms, but it certainly works for what I'm trying to do, just needed a bit of tweaking and a better understanding of how it worked.
That said, this testing/conversation brought me to a neat idea: Linked realms/sub-realms. A base realm, like my template. Then linked realms, that grab data from the original as if it were in the sub-realm itself. Got an NPC that shows up in both? Add to the base realm, and it shows up in all sub-realms.
