If I might jump in with a question: I just weeded out a large amount of ground around some of my yard's decorative plants (azaleas, etc.)
Should I put mulch down over that area, like I would do in the spring? Or is that a waste of time this late in the season?
Thanks for any advice!

I don’t know where you live, but here in Massachusetts, mulch is always a good idea.

Mulch, mulch, mulch. You can’t overdo it. IMHO

Mulch is never a waste of time. It’s beneficial for many reasons, so I would do it.

Mulch anytime you can; it will equalize soil moisture , and supress any week growth that will compete with the plants.
Also , the further North you are , it will minimize 'frost heaves' which could also dessicate the roots by limiting the temperature variations in the soil .
Sounds to me like a win/win situation.
