Quick one - do those who have switched to 650b or 29er find that you need to increase brake rotor size to give the same stopping power as you had with 26" wheels?

No.
Gone to XT and gone smaller too!

rotor size would be more linked to your weight rather than the size of the wheel IMO

Nope, same size as ever

In theory, you should fit a larger rotor to keep the ratio of rotor diameter to wheel diameter the same. In practice, probably not enough of a difference to notice.

Nope, it was fine (on a 650b).
