Would it be fair to say that the conclusions were that "large scale processing blocks have similar connection complexity across mammals, regardless of brain size?" -- obviously including that the complexity and/or function of the regions may be wildly different.

Yes, their statements should be about “large scale processing blocks,“ to make claims to the public about the number of synapses between neurons being conserved is really unfortunate and cannot be assessed in their data
