Understanding there's a version baked into the core now; is there any way to have to ensure there's a cropped version on disk to feed through into a separate web-servering tier?
Yes since Umbraco v7.1 a Image Cropper based on this package is included in the core.
There isn't a off the shelf solution for storing crops to disk although I know several people have done it using Umbraco media save events and ImageProcessor to create and save the files.
However ImageProcessor.Web now has support for moving it's cache to Azure CDN and also a Amazon S3 version coming soon. This is a better solution than storing the crops to disk anyhow and is the approach being taken for getting crops onto CDN.
As Jeavon said, ImageProcessor.Web with the plugins should be able to do what you need.
On the note of using a single point of origin to serve cached files, I'll most likely be merging this pull request this evening which will allow using a single site to serve images which will allow greater flexibility on that platform.
I'm also working on an implementation of IFileSystem for Umbraco that works well with Azure and will allow transparent serving of files from blob storage. It's alpha at the moment but seems to work well in all my tests so I'll probably release that on Nuget very soon.
Is there any file generation support?

We're using Umbraco 7.1.4
