Posting an update in case someone stumbles upon this thread with the same issue I was having:
The reason my users cannot access our models from Excel and Power BI in this scenario is because our Fabric Admins disabled "Sharing datasets across workspaces".
This setting has to be turned on, either for the whole organization, or for a security group comprised of my model users, in order for them to be able to see and connect to models. It had nothing to do with the type of Fabric license.
