I’d love to know just how all this works, in a practical way.

I think within the Greek Patriarchates the EP is still very much viewed as a court of appeal, but this could be argued it was due to the continuing political influence of the EP under the Ottomans (i.e., the argument for raising Constantinople to #2 due to the presence of the Emperor, Senate, etc.) The exception might be Antioch. Perhaps the Serbs still had at least the habit of mind that the EP was still a major political leader in what was still land only recently free from Ottoman control.
