I need to get my International Driving Permit endorsed at the Automobile Association in Colombo. Is it an all-day bureaucratic nightmare?

No, it is remarkably efficient. Go to the AAC office in Colombo 03 during a weekday morning. You fill out a form, hand them your home license, your IDP, your passport, and the fee (around $35 USD in rupees). You usually walk out with the permit in 30 to 45 minutes.

Oh wow, 45 minutes is nothing. I will just go do it myself then.

If you rent from a reputable scooter or car rental place, you can email them photos of your documents in advance and they will go to the AAC and do it for you for a small fee. Highly recommend doing that.
