You following physio advice? Stretching and/or doing relevant exercises twice a day?

Could also stick a 32T on. Take some load off when the gradient goes ▲

I could probably do more. I guess I've been trying to substitute the specific exercises he gave me with yoga and strength work, thinking it would achieve the same thing. To be fair, my knee issues are better than they once were, but it seems that a jump up in mileage is what can reliably fuck it - hence the comment about not finding time to ramp the distance.

I can get up to about 200km on a good week of longer commutes and a normalish weekend ride, but I guess I need to sacrifice some fun riding with mates to ramp up the length of that weekend ride

Have you tried examining your pedal action when fatigued to see if there's obvious movements that contribute to pain? You know, like flaring knees, rocking, not high enough saddle height stuff. Do you take note of cadence during rides?
