A cursory search suggests that I *pay* $25/year to iMatch so I can redownload the DRM'ed files on the pretense that this should make them freely available. I remain skeptical.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

I too have read the iMatch thing and from my experience, it does work. I did it well over a year ago though so I'm basing it on what I remember and things may have changed.
From what I recall, I signed up for iTunes Match and let it do it's thing, matching all my songs. Then, when it was completely done, I deleted all of my music from iTunes (made sure I had a backup). Once that was done, iTunes still showed the songs as "available". Then, I just re-downloaded them.
All of iTunes music is DRM free now. So when the match happens, they're matching it to DRM free versions, when is what gets downloaded when you re-download all of your music. There's a column that you can add in your iTunes view that will show you what kind it is. I think a DRM'd song will show as "Protected".
