I got an answer!  I worked with Esri representatives and it took some time and digging, but they ultimately told me that you need to be connected to the Esri License Manager, like via ArcGIS Pro on the machine, in order to use geoprocessing tools like Rebuild Address Locator in Python.  This explains why I was able to run the function in a Pro Notebook, and then later in Windows Command Prompt using the Python .exe that comes with Pro, but not the Python .exe that comes with ArcGIS Server.  Side note - I was trying to run the script on an actual ArcGIS Server, rather than a PC or file server, because we needed to rebuild our address locators that are in our Public DMZ network.  Internal network machines cannot access the DMZ servers for this purpose, so I was trying to run the script on the DMZ server using the Python .exe that comes with ArcGIS Server software (because Pro was not installed on that server, and regardless, that server can't access the license manager in order for Pro to work there).   So the solution is to have Pro on the machine and connect to the license manager.  If the machine cannot do that, which is the case for our DMZ servers, then you have to find a workaround.  We might try rebuilding the locators on the internal network and then copying the files onto the DMZ server, or allowing the ability to have a shared folder on the DMZ server where the internal server can access the locator files. Esri previously told me that Server Python and Pro Python were equivalent, and I'm sure they have the same ingredients, but it would be nice if there was documentation somewhere that said you basically can't use arcpy via Server Python. ...
