Using cookies mode of auth seems to work great and the resulting file is working great in players, but it doesn't seem to recognize or get any subtitles.  I'm not sure if this is expected or not as i couldn't find anything suggesting it wasn't supported on this site and the content exists when using the native funimation players.  Am I missing a required command line argument (similar works for other sites and gets subtitles)?

they use 3 different types of subs .dfxp, vtt and .srt. The url for the subs think has changed and they use different cloud front urls for simulcast and uncut versions of episodes. But you have to also specify if you want the Dub of Sub of each ep too for this show as it has a simulcast dub also. If your output is mp4 only srt subs will mux in to it or you will have to convert the vtt or dfxp to srt for the output. Dubs are hard subbed and do not contain soft subs unless they provide cc subs for a series,

This is still an issue in youtube-dl version 2020.03.24.

yes, still get the same error. I think as stated in an earlier reply that the subs are vtt and not recognized. Not sure if it's just ffmpeg that doesn't recognize them or youtube-dl (or both). At the end of downloading I get:
[ffmpeg] There aren't any subtitles to embed
the manual workaround is to search for the vtt file in the page and download it, then convert it to srt, then embed it with the video file.

Yes, I see the same. As an example URL:

Subtitles (English subs for Japanese audio) for this video as I see it in the stream:

That's the extent of what I can make out. I can't easily figure out where subtitles are scraped in the code.
