If I understand correctly, Personal Access Tokens (PAT) are associated with the user identity logged in (they are within User Settings afterall).
Question: For functional responsibilities that should not be associated with and reliant upon one individual team member's account (ex. automated systems deployments), is there a way to generate non-user contextual PATs?

There is no way to create non-user contextual personal access tokens. Personal access tokens are alternate passwords that user can use to authenticate into Azure DevOps.
You can create a service account with proper access, then generate PATs with proper scopes from this service account. So that all team members can use these PATs.
