Realizing I don't have a perfect handle on how Trek-universe artificial gravity functions, it just occurred to me that incidents involving turbolifts falling down the shaft seem... silly

It's definitely one of those timey-wimey things. Depending on the needs of the plot, it's either shipwide or each deck has its own gravity generator. The only constant is that the handwavium includes controlled emission of gravitons.

If the artificial gravity is shipwide, a falling turbolift plot element at least sort of makes sense; otherwise it's one of them there plot holes.

The plot holes are how the turbolift moves between decks

Each turbolift car (probably) has its own graviton emitter arrays to allow it to travel through the turbolift shafts/conduits.

The thing that gets me though is that there's not a single turbocharger to be found in the entire system.
