For anyone who wants to have their systemd user session manage the daemon, instead of relying on autostart, you can delete the autostart file and create a dropbox.service file instead.

Actually, instead of just deleting the autostart file, you should switch off "Start Dropbox on system startup" in the Dropbox preferences. That'll delete the autostart file for you, and won't re-create it later when it notices it's missing.

Thank you FeRDNYC, you have gone to a lot of trouble! Unfortunately I'm not well enough versed in under-the-hood Linux to adopt that method. I can live with restarting the extension for now. But I may try commenting out that Autostart-Delay line -- that's within my (limited) competence.
