“Cluster deformers” in Blender
$begingroup$
Does Blender have anything like Maya's (and, perhaps, C4D's) cluster deformer – the ability to group vertices and assign degrees of influence from the cluster parent to subsets of vertices in the cluster?
You can assign vertices to a vertex group and weight paint them accordingly, but what would be the analogue of the cluster parent here? A non-deforming bone?

It sounds to me like you're looking for the Hook modifier.

Thanks, Fweeb, very helpful. Was thinking hooks might be the way to go, but didn't remember they were a modifier.
