Does it have this ability out of the box? I don't remember it being there years ago (I looked for it), but that was 3+ years ago.

It's still the best music player I know of though, even when running with Wine on Linux.

AFAIK, I didn't have to add any plugins to achieve that feature. I believe you can set the order to be Shuffle Tracks or Shuffle Albums out of the box, but I might be misremembering if I needed to do anything for that to be there.

You can customize this feature in Advanced Preferences. Then, go to Playback -> Shuffle -> Album grouping pattern.

How great is fb2k for music discovery? Also their macOS player is kind of...bad. I'd recommend Cog for local files.
