I remember back in the day taking receptacles out and just finding the
grounds spliced as normal but with no wire nut at all, just wires
twisted together. I always thought that was a little cheezy, was that
acceptable by code at one point in time, or was I just looking at shoddy
work?

AFAIK it is still acceptable on bare copper ground wires.
