I've set up some minecart routes which worked at first, but eventually the dwarves started ignoring them.  Minecarts empty, feeding stockpiles full, and 30 idlers.  The "store item in vehicle" job doesn't even appear in Jobs.  I managed to kick one of them into being loaded again by adding a 'move every 7 days no matter what' operation, but now its stalled again, for another 7 days.  What gives?

I've seen the same issue, where minecart quantum stockpiles just stops working randomly for an unknown reason. Somehow the mine cart loading jobs can fall between the cracks. I haven't tried it myself, but I would consider deleting the route and redefine it again. I would also consider deleting the feeder stockpiles and recreating them in the same location (but try one approach at a time).

Try setting up a stockpile nearby that only accepts minecarts, unassign all the carts, let them get drug to t he stockpile, then reassign the carts to the routes

Okay, this is helping, previously I'd used minecarts that weren't in a stockpile yet.  Maybe that was why.

You could also try forbidding the minecart and then reclaiming it. Don't know if it'll actually work, but when I'm doing quantum stockpiles, forbidding is how I turn them off temporarily.
