Would someone who actually knows or can find out care to comment
on whether the insurance would cover such "officials" if they
started engaging in direct, large-scale, financial management
and/or the direct supervision of those who were doing so, in
addition to standards activities?

The ISOC Directors & Officers insurance presently covers the IETF,
IESG, IAB, IRTF, IRSG and IANA (IETF related) "officials", and the
RFC Editor. It extends to the level of Working Group chairs and
also covers the NomComm process (including Recall Committees). This
coverage would extend to financial management and/or direct
supervision of those doing so in addition to standards activities, so
long as the IETF was an unincorporated entity and was operating
under the "umbrella" of ISOC (as you are today). Should the IETF
incorporate as a separate entity, it would (obviously) no longer be
covered under the ISOC insurance policy, but would require its own.
