All plants are now growing to about 2 feet high. Should I (re)prune them to
ground level or let winter take its toll?

When did you prune? Ours are still fruiting, and will be, given
semi-decent weather, until into November. I usually prune my autumn rasps
in January. They seem to do well on this regime.

I agree with Jim. My Autumn raspberries are still fruiting and will
till we get a frost. I also cut mine back Jan or Feb, almost to the
ground and give a good mulch.
