re: I am looking for showcase examples using [connections wp_current_category='true']
Sorry, I do not know of any live sites using this. Honestly, I do know if anyone is using it at all. I added it as a feature request many years ago. The maintenance of this specific shortcode option is from time to time I verify that it still works.
re: I am also looking for showcase examples where the showcase is built almost entirely out of the connections plugin
These sites make heavy use of Connections:
- http://www.visitwollombi.com.au
- http://www.aroundhermitage.com.au
- http://www.brokefordwich.com.au
- http://www.lovedalehuntervalley.com.au
- http://www.branxtongreta.com.au
Not sure if that answers your question exactly :/
re: I am also looking for showcase examples of a simple list of the Titles in each listing in the directory so for example
No live examples, but there is a beta extension you can read about here:

Perhaps that will work???
