You are correct. Cadweld, Exothermic, or One Shots ARE made for this
purpose. They are the same thing. To clarify, Cadweld is a company, not a
type of welding or product. Exothermic Welding, is a type of welding that
companies like Cadweld provides. One shot is a product that makes Exothermic
Welded connections, and the One Shot is a product by Cadweld. Hopefully this
helps.

So how well would brazing with a Bernzomatic or similar Propane or MAPP
torch work for bonding copper ground wires to copper-clad steel ground
rods?

oxy-acetylene torch a few decades ago but never mastered the art of
fusion welding)

I suppose someone makes some wire to use in a MIG welder to weld copper
but I'd be surprised if there was. Copper and brass are usually brazed
or soldered. Not welded.
