Is it true that the most dangerous time of a GA pilot's "career" is not when they're a student, and not right after they get their private license, but after they get about 150-200 hours? Or right after they get their instrument rating? I've always read that, and I guess it makes sense.

That is true of all pilots, not just GA. It happens right around the time you start thinking you are hot $hit. The only reason that I am serious about this issue now, is because I remember what an idiot I was as a young pilot. I thought I knew everything when in reality, I didnt know squat. There is no easy way to convince someone that they are still a novice after the Navy paints their name on an airplane.
