I'm currently logged into Gmail. When I click the little upper-right icon in Chrome I see a button saying "Sign in to Chrome", implying I'm not currently signed in. "About Google Chrome" tells me I'm on version 69.0.3497.100 (on OSX). So I don't appear to be experiencing this issue. What am I missing?

You're missing nothing - this is the intended behavior. People are falsely reporting that you are automatically signed in to chrome sync, which isn't true.
