I use Xcode as my external editor for OpenSCAD, since I am already using it
for most of my other work.

Hadn’t thought about using an external editor but I use Visual Studio Code for my Homebridge plug in stuff. I opened that up and downloaded the most promising sounding extension, the one by Leathong. As soon as tried out auto complete and found that it will auto complete modules and functions in BOSL2 I became a convert. It will also go to the definition of a BOSL2 resource. After I add snippets for the common things I do, this will save me significant time. The default syntax coloring looks pretty reasonable to me too.
Anyway, try VSC.

I happen to like Notepad++, which can have a syntax analyzer for the
OpenSCAD language installed in it.

I'm most interested in hearing about the integration and workflow with
OpenSCAD when using these external tools. For instance if one maintains
projects or sessions in an external editor with a large number of .scad
files what are the processes for preview, rendering, jumping to errors,
etc.?

With Notepad++ you get no error feedback, but do get syntax recognition.
Typical workflow is to start the project (establish the file) in
OpenSCAD, then open that file in Notepad++. Make changes to the source
file in Notepad++, then save. That updates the screen. If you have the
OpenSCAD editor open at the same time, it should show you syntax errors
and debugging information.
The advantage of Notepad++ is that you get color syntax highlighting,
and a wider selection of completion options, although they are not
linked to OpenSCAD but rather what you've typed already.
If you want, you can link one version of OpenSCAD to each source file.

If you have a project that includes lots of other SCAD files then it will
generate a new preview if any of them change. If you want a render you have
to hit F6 in OpenSCAD.
