I guess what I'm asking is if there's a standard (XDG) way to invoke a screensaver.
Not sure if this is a "standard (XDG) way", but I'm running i3lock: https://i3wm.org/i3lock/
Simple and efficient. https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/man/i3lock
My environment:
% env | egrep -i 'n__desktop|session=|ssion_t|xdm' DESKTOP_SESSION=i3 DM_CONTROL=/run/xdmctl XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 XDM_MANAGED=method=classic
% loginctl session-status | grep Servic[e] Service: kdm; type x11; class user
