If one were playing around with

If one were playing around with building parsers, and read the Dragon Book back in the day, what might be a decent intro to modern compiler code generation techniques and the LLVM and similar intermediate code philosophy and practicalities?

It's not exactly recent anymore, but the Muchnik book covers the fundamentals of modern compiler architecture - "Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation" - a good successor to the dragon book. For a less academic approach, Nystrom's book "Crafting Interpreters" is well regarded; don't let the title put you off, it's all relevant to compilers.
