... I feel like you've just exemplified what I was talking about, missing
the fact that the curly braces were replaced with parentheses around the
function body to force a subshell every time it's called.

It had nothing to do with how many lines of code were used.  I could
have written them as

    duhs() { (shopt -s dotglob; printf '%s\0' "${1:-.}"/*/ | xargs -0 du -sh); }

and

    duhs() (shopt -s dotglob; printf '%s\0' "${1:-.}"/*/ | xargs -0 du -sh)

and the same point would have applied.

Do note that the "function" keyword is a bash/ksh extension, and not
part of POSIX sh syntax.  In bash, "x()" and "function x" are identical
in behavior.  In ksh, they cause two different kinds of variable scoping
behavior.  Bash also allows "function x()" which ksh does not.

Just for the record.
