I suspect that because more than a little of my elevation data sucks, because the data includes slope distance and zenith angles, if my measure-ups are faulty, it may affect the horizontal adjustment.
Is there an easy way to convert to a 2D analysis...i.e. without re-writing a ton of lines? I can't just change it to 2D in Project Options; it results in a lot of error messages. Or, is this a fools errand, given that the 2D analysis is using the same data as the 3D analysis?

Yes. As I recall, the following inline command:
.2D
Should do the trick (if you specify the heights of the control points or choose some arbitrary value) for a 3D adjustment, e.g.:
E 1800 1200 !
