Pasting without overwriting
In my experience in the text world, the paste operation does an insert, rather than a replace. Can this be done with notes in Musescore?

Unfortunately no that doesn't exist.
An insert mode is a long time request but no sign of seeing it implemented any time soon.
So waiting for that you need to manually insert the number of necessary measures (which is a nightmare if you have a score with alternance of time signature), and paste in these new measures.

Suppose you're writing a symphony, and you decide to use "insert" mode to give the first flute an extra F# quaver somewhere in the first movement, would you expect the flute to be one note behind everyone else for the rest of the piece?

There should be a switch to let us decide if we want overwrite or insert.

Yes.
If I copy a flute part and forget a quaver and realize that some 10 measures later (because I'm copying using keyboard looking at the original not at my screen) that there is a missing quaver I would indeed happily insert it.
But that is not the point : finding situations where insert is most probably not needed doesn't mean insert is never needed.
